Hoya kuhlii is in my opinion a quite anonymous hoya.  There is nothing special about the leaves, almost boring. In any big hoya collection I guess this one does not have the highest priority. Maybe that is why you seldom see any good pictures of this one on the Internet?

But I must say that the flowers are beautiful. I really like the colour combination; the yellow corolla with a reddish tint and the bright red centre of the corona. I have not felt any scent of the flowers yet. Maybe that is why the colours are so bright?

The peduncle is very long, at least 10 cm. The cluster is concave and there is a lot of space between the flowers. Because of the beatiful flowers I guess I will keep this hoya, at least for a while.
