The flower photo is taken when the flowers are a few days old, so I guess it's the way they look. The red on the leaves is from the sun.

I also have another hoya named pentaphlebia and it gets huge leaves. It has not flowered, but others think it's not the correct name. The leaves on this plant looks a lot like on your pentaphlebia, but they get really red in the sun = gorgeous plant.

Will try to upload photos on my website in the weeks to come. I'm off 4 weeks before I start my new job. I'm enclosing an old photo of two leaves of this other pentaphlebia. (Size about 6 inches long)
