Could this be a hoya acuta green form

Saint Petersburg, FL(Zone 9b)

I got this old cutting at a local nursery. It was labeled hoya. Now its in bloom. Its looks like my variegated acute and smells like it too....but the flowers have a nice green color to them.

Not sure on the ID, but, I do know that is a lovely photo! What are you feeding your plants? Whatever it is, I need some!!! It may just be that good things happen to good people!

Ric...I have a clone of H. verticillata that blooms with a lot of green in the flower...and I think I remember something about a H. acuta/H. verticillata labeling confusion. It is really hard to remember that color is not a good ID factor...expecially shades and tones of color....

I love the smell of that one, too.

Thanks Mel.....I'm sure if this hoya was in your hands, it would be twice the size.


Carol, yeah...ID'ing some hoyas can be impossible. The expert botonist can't even get it straight. All I know is that I like the green color and that it has a neat scent.

Ric whatever it is I love the flowers! I have an Acuta but no blooms yet.
