Found this today in a local Garden Centre. H australis.you dont get many Hoyas for sale here, but obviously I had to buy it to encourage the Nursery to get more Hoyas in ( my excuse and Im sticking to it.!!.))
What suprised me is how it was growing. It had had a lot of sun, and in , well, just solid soil with bad drainage , over potted and soaking wet. They had about 15 in from somewhere on the islands, probably Tenerife. All were strong plants, all had flowered as there is a seed pod and more flowers coming, and basically everything we try not to do to Hoyas....yet they were all really strong and all setting bud. They told me it was a Stephanotis.....now they know better....:))
Bad photos as its a different camera, but gives you the idea
