They call it hoya 'Chelsea'.
What do you think? (Carol?)

Remember my most recent NOID?
Hmmmmm and the ebay seller says he is the ONLY person to have it. HA!
The name should be H. carnosa cv. Chelsea... But I do think yours looks more like 'Krinkle 8"...the prettiest one I have ever seen. But, I also think you could be very CORRECT.
hehee!!
I've bought from him a few times, and talked to him on the phone before....he seems to be a pretty decent and honest guy....(his voice sounds exactly like the HS principal at our school....southern drawl and all!) he probably meant he's the only seller to have it.....so I should ask him if he sells to this supermarket where I bought it!
It sure looks close to me!
Mine's still doing really well and putting out some new growth...can't wait 'til it blooms!
Thanks for the nomenclature info, Carol....I'll have to tag it when I get home.
I think I'm gonna send this guy an email.
OK....how many of you guys bought one of these things last night?
I couldn't resist & decided I had to have one to compare to some others that look similar. Anyway, the price wasn't bad at all. That was the first multi-auction I have ever bought anything. Kinda strange...I wasn't too sure how it worked, but I see now. One person at the end of the bid didn't win there's as the 25 was out by then.

Marcy I brought 2 of them and I received them earlier this week. I made him an offer and got mine right away. I was really pleased with the size and how healthy they are. Two long cuttings in both pots. They really do look like a cross between krinkle 8 and carnosa. It'll be interesting to see what the flowas look like.

Ahhh....the addiction flares again. Ha Ha
Yes, it will be interesting to grow them up. I am so curious as to what they were a sport of. Did he say how he started them or found them?
Marcy
Well girls, I just checked ebay and there is another one. I have been watching the others but missed the bid. Maybe I will luck out with this one. Those I won't be one of the first one. ha ha Dose look like a interesting plant.
Binky :))))))
