Well really chuffed  now, when I was young worked in a nursery for awhile and went into a greenhouse and at the end was the most amazing flower I have seen, it was a Hoya Bella or wax plant. I have wanted one for years and at last have one, its in flower as well, Also have what is called a Cottage Eucomis Bicolour Pineapple Lily Flower Plant  and that's in flower so really pleased 


This is the Hoya Bella.
