Tami,
It looks like it "could be" H. nummularoides. I have one that was in alot of morning sun and has turned red on the leaves like yours. Doesn't seem to be getting buds this fall. But the one I kept in the shade is loaded with spurs. I could be wrong on the name, I'm sure the "experts" will be along soon.. Very pretty plant.
TamiF, I was so pleased to find something different. Thanks for your input.
Tami
Hi TamiXWP. Tammy F is correct. That is indeed H. nummularioides, and boy are you going to be surprised when it starts putting on flower spurs (peduncles). If it remains happy it will bloom (always in the fall) from every single leaf axle, with some of the prettiest little flowers in the hoya kingdom. Another plus...the fragrance is divine. I grow these a little on the dry side, but when it starts putting on flower spurs don't let it get completely dry or the flower buds will blast.

Ann,
Do they rebloom from their spurs after they have finished? mine bloomed more in the summer a full flush and the spurs/peduncles are still there..i guess it was early for me ...i agree, the smell was very nice and pleasant and the blooms lasted a long time...
Sandy
Annie and TamiF,
Thanks for your help. Very excited now for blooms.
Tami
Sandy, this hoya is one that drops it's peduncles, and produces them the next blooming cycle. Although, after dropping the majority of it's peduncles, my sisters plant had a few that hung on and are forming new buds, sounds like that is what yours is doing.
Tammy
Hi Tammy,
Well i will keep an eye on them...some of the first spend peduncles have been there since July and into August...i dont see any new reblooming on them yet but i would of thought they would of dropped their peduncles by now....that is interesting....thanks!
Sandy
