The first bloom was in the night of June 4, 2010. The flower is large (3.50cm), and it is quite different from the type sheet of Hoya wrayi - wray 371.
This species is very difficult to cultivate. It was found in lowland forest. The single flower blooms at night and lasts only a few hours.
The photos below is probably the first color photo of this beautyful species.
