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

My understanding is that motoskei has lighter flowers, pale pink to white. I would think that Snowball could be a similar clone, but I don't think that the two I have are the same plant. Personally, I think snowball is prettier...I have been seeing pictures of the flowers for some time and wanted it, but didn't realize how nice the foliage was...when I first started collecting hoyas there was a picture on The Correctly Named Hoyas website of a similar looking plant labeled carnosa, but it looked nothing like the 3 plain green carnosas I already had, and I wanted that plant! Couldn't find it though.

So, getting this cutting was great, I feel like I got two plants I wanted in one! If you wait long enough, things will come to you on their own. You can tell by the pictures though that they are not the same.
