Tammy and David; I just checked out the link for Witt's Nursery. I see not just some but many of their plants are mislabeled. The plants in these photos do look healthy though. so that's a plus. I agree with David. I think their version of phyllura is actually H. cinnamomifolia. The story behind the phyllura mix up was because Ted Green collected a plant that he thought matched the description of phyllura. From what I understand Christine Burton convinced him that it wasn't phyllura and didn't seem to match any hoya description that we had in the literature, so after several years of growing the plant we now know as H. clemensiorum, Ted decided to make it legal and published it under that name. H. clemensiorum by the way is the most stunningly beautiful leaf in all of the hoya kingdom. The blooms are long lasting and also gorgeous. It may be one of the best bloomers also.
