I can't figure out what this hoya is either, I had originally contacted Roy because I thought it might be the same as his....not so after seeing the flowers on his. And it isn't merrilli (which was on the label)

I have never seen a pottsii that had pink in the flowers, and the flowers on my plant were a pale pale pink with the darker pink in the centers. It probably looks the most like Maykela's - the leaves are thin but stiff, curve up more at the edges than under, and there is alot of silver speckling. The grower thinks there was a mix up, probably at the greenhouse of his supplier. I haven't heard back from him yet.

Not sure how many of you go to HoyasRUS, because this was posted there too. Chris couldn't say for sure what it was either.
