Photo of H. carnosa Snowball - NOT!  But it's interesting....

The mystery deepens! Here are the leaves of my plant bought from smoley as "H.carnosa 'snowball'". First, I should say that the plants I have now are cuttings from the original I took long after I gave away all the plants in my "first" hoya collection. It was about four years ago that I gave it away, and I can't swear that I saw the flowers on this plant. I may be misremembering the flowers on a fungii. The leaves, however, look identical to the leaves on mine, so he seems to have sent us the same thing (he dosn't allways, I recently received a H.kentii labeled as a H.waymanae, after having previously received a correctly labeled waymanae from him). The flowers are really nice. They do look the color of a pubicalyx, but the shape seems a little wrong, more like a carnosa. How does it smell? Like carnosa or pubicalyx or neither?
