please help ID my Hoya

I bought this at Logee's. The girl at the counter said it was 'H. odorata', but another plant I bought that day was the odorata. Here's some pics. I hope you can help!

thanks,
Harper

Harper,
That looks to me like a beautiful H. javonica.

Hi Ann, I was unable to find H. javonica anywhere. However, while I was looking for it, I found H. multiflora "shooting star". I think that's it. What do you think?

I was thinking it resembled H. multiflora myself.

Harper,
Try with Hoya javanica, you should find some info with google.

Also there is a good comparison between H. javanica and H. multiflora (called also "Shooting Star") here:

Oh, and forgot to say that if you are searching for more care tips, I think you can also search H. multiflora cause many bought it labeled as such (I changed the label myself only recently into H. javanica).

MsKitty and ewdy, I think you're right. I think it's a javanica. It's getting ready to bloom again. I'll double check then. Thank you everyone!
