This is Grum's blooming wax plant (Hoya carnosa). The buds are just opening here. I ended up with quite a few buds this year. It's a funny plant as the blooms smell very strong and have a viscous liquid on them so it looks like the buds are crying! Also, each of the buds here is on it's own little stem and they all fall off once the flowers have gone brown. I really like this plant - it's in a hanging basket in my East facing window.

It's beautiful!!
Strangely enough, our crab apple trees didn't flower this year. Although we missed the beautiful blossoms, I don't think we'll have to pickup any little crab apples from the lawn. Hmmm. Could be better this way.
