Leaf diversity in one plant

Long Beach, CA

To bring up a past subject (but I couldn't find the old thread) about different leaf forms on the same plant, I had these 2 big heavily splotched leaves pop out on this noid hoya I got labeled Hoya 'Superba'. This is all one plant even though it has several different kinds of leaves on it. Then these 2 big different ones appeared to make it even more strange. This plant has not bloomed for me yet, so I really don't know what it is for sure. NO WONDER we can't ID plants by foliage alone.

Kewl, Marcy! The plant is pretty on its own, but those two "special" leaves are gaw-jus! Are they in the middle of a vine? Maybe you could take that section of vine and root it and see if it continues to produce leaves with that look. Personally, I LUV leaves with heavy or silvery splotches all over them.
Hoyas are the neatest plants!

Ditto Barb..
Awesome new leaves. I think I'd root them to see what happens.

Yep, I have one that does the same thing. Sometimes I even get leaves that are krinkled on this same plant. Very strange.
