It looks to be H. kerrii, what a wonderful bloom. Do you give it lots of sun? Very nice friend to give you such a wonderful present...

Tamif & Nightbloomer54,
Thank you so much, I googled it and you
are correct. Not into hoyas but trying to learn.

giancarlo, I know you are into bromeliads as I cruise that forum from time to time. I have quite a few neo's myself, plus brugs and epi's.

Most plant lovers are multi-addicted!

Drop in from time to time, but be warned as we have "hoya hooked" many a visitor!

giancarlo - - nice little hoya you got there.
But oh dear, unless you don't mind another addiction, I suggest you turn and RUN LIKE THE WIND because once you visit here, meet all the great folks, and feast your eyes on the beauty of a hoya - - YOU WILL BE ADDICTED, just like the rest of us. There will be no turning back then!

PROCEED WITH CAUTION...! (and welcome aboard)

Nice flower Giancarlo, however, it looks to me like your plant is getting too much sun, the leaves don't look very happy. Was your friend giving it a lot of sun, do you know? Or maybe too much fertilizer. Something's not right with it, despite the lovely flower.

Agreed. I would put it in the shade for awhile and let it green up. Would also withhold fertilizer until it stabilizes. H. Kerrii also likes to grow on the dry side. Either water heavily and then let it dry out between waterings, or water it lightly, but more often just to keep the soil barely damp.

Thank you all for the tips, rather green with hoyas, but
like them a lot.
I have it in the shade, figured that was sun exposed too much.
Armando.
