Your right Gail, they are beautiful healthy hoya plants!! I'm fairly new to these myself but I know the names that you have mixed around on a couple of them so I'm going to start at the top with your pictures...

#1. Pink Silver...the flower picture on that one was gorgeous, I can see why Rain is after it.....

#2. Hoya polyneura or Fishtail...if you look at the leaves you can see that they look like a fishes tail, even the coloring!

#3. Hoya Mulitflora or Shooting Stars, when you see the blooms you'll know why this one is Shooting Stars!!

#4. I'm not familiar with this cross so I'm sure your right on the name combo

#5.Hoya Kerri

#6. Hoya Australis

#7.Krinkle 8

#8.I'm not sure what this one is but a compacta is the official name for a hindu rope hoya and the leaves don't look curled enough on this plant. I've seen the variegated hindu rope or compacta and the leaves were much tighter.....but this could just be a looser version of it...so I'm not saying for sure what it is!!

#9.Hoya Carnosa Krimson Princess....on Krimson Princess the white is in the middle with the grass green coloring on the edges.............. There is one called Krimson Queen that is the opposite, white on the outside edges and a darker green in the center

I hope this was a help and didn't confuse you more!! Here is a picture of my Shooting Stars Hoya, it was small and it bloomed fast for me! They are known for being fast bloomers so they are satisfying! LOL
