Photo of Hoping to confirm ID and is this normal?

Hi all, A newbie to Hoya here. I'm hoping to get an ID on this guy. After looking through all of the different varieties (I had no idea that there were so many), I believe I might have H.compacta (krinkle kurl) ? It came from a big box store without a tag. I've had this plant about 2 years now. Can anyone confirm this? It has bloomed for the very first time, and I'm curious about the difference in leaf color near the blooms. Is this normal? They turned a shade of burgundy. Having never seen it bloom before, I wasn't sure. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. :-)
