Lin, that looks just like my australis ssp australis so, I guess you've got it ID'd now.

Charleen, that lovely hoya is carnosa 'Tricolor' or 'Krimson Queen'. It will take awhile, but it has pretty light pink flowers that have a dark red centre (corona).

And this one, blooming for the first time since it was just a puppy...er, cutting, is H. nummulariodes. I've been keeping an eye on these buds, and smelled them as I came into the room for breakfast this morning but didn't have time to investigate. Imagine my surprise tonight when I got home, took it down to take its picture and found two more umbels of teeny buds! Each of these flowers are about 1/4" in diameter - they're just so cute!
