Another ID, please

Cincinnati, OH(Zone 6a)

I'm sure this will be my last for the season....if I can control myself!

I got this one at Home Depot, also. It didn't have the Exotic Angel tag on it, but I'm assuming that's what it is. It also isn't as healthy as the other two, and has a few mealies that I didn't see till I got it home. (I've treated with alcohol.)

I looked through the forum because I was sure I had seen something similar IDed recently, but couldn't find anything. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated!

A few of the leaves have a tiny bit of pink, but only a very few.

Looks like Carnosa vs rubra

Hmmmm, well, it looks to me from the pictures in PlantFiles that the variegation on H. carnosa var. Rubra is in the middle, and on mine the variegation is along the outside. Is there another possibility?

MaryEv: Your hoya with the creamy edges and green center is H. carnosa Tricolor, a/k/a "Krimson Queen": http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/57703/

H. carnosa Rubra, a/k/a "Krimson Princess": http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/57702/ has green edges with the creamy color in the center.

Thank you. That's what I was thinking, except that mine has very little pink - but it does have some. Maybe it will show more pink when it is more actively growing. It's pretty quiet now that I've brought it indoors for the winter.

They're all so beautiful. I hope I can keep them alive and eventually blooming!
