A Pitaya (Dragon Fruit) Plant
​
These flowers bloom at night and are well nigh 10-inches-long. We don’t expect any fruit this year because torrents of rain spoiled the flowers. 

Ho-yah! Hoya Carnosa
Sometime in 2013, a little pot of a Hoya Carnosa came to us. Since then, this plant gave us an ample number of cuttings and, sometimes, flowers. The variegated leaves are very glossy and the floral globes are full of pink stars.  

USDA Zone 9 and 10 Plants
(This copernicia fallaensis lives in Fairchild Botanical Garden.)
