from PanamonCreel.

Sandy I too have one like the above and sent the pic to Milan for ID purposes. It was sold to me as Exotica by Pike Lake Nurseries. Meanwhile I had also gotten the more rounded leafed one and was informed that it too would be properly named as what is listed above.

I prefer to think of my rounded leafed one as Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Princess' (since I think it is much prettier) and the named Exotica as Hoya carnosa 'Rubra'. My own personal preference is speaking here however. ;)

This is the one I received as Exotica ... very similiar to the one I bought locally and posted for ID in this thread: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/503524/

The one sold as Exotica, pictured below, tho has not reverted back to green on any of the vines.
