An abundance of no less than 14 flower clusters on one plant!  These are commonly known as 
Wax Flowers or Porcelain Flowers. The botanical name is Hoya.
It was planted just over 2 years ago and grows along the rafters on the porch.   
The smell reminds of Honeysuckle and it fills the air at the front door - heavenly!  
Hoya plants are named after the English gardener Thomas Hoy (1788–1809).

  1. It looks similar to a plant which is a laval host plant to the African Monarch.
