Anyone know what this is? I am assuming some miniature carnosa type, but can't tell for sure. I got it in the mail today from someone who said they were going to send me some cuttings months ago, I don't even remember which forum it was from, or what she said it was.
ID of small leafed carnosa
I guess it would help to show the photo..!
It's H. carnosa 'Holliana'.
A darling little hoya.
thank you very much marcy, I will look it up now, figured it was a type of carnosa. It is pretty darn cute. I was sitting here envying Sara's Rolling Rock Hoyas and wishing I had some coming in the mail today and wouldn't you know the postman knocked on the door right at that moment! I got a package of bella cuttings I was expecting for my mom, and then the package that included the "Holliana"
If anyone has any pictures of this one full size or of it's flowers, I'd love to see them.
Here's my old one Jen, before it bit the dust on me. I never was able to get any pictures of the flowers though. I have a new one now, which is far healthier, due to my knowing better how to care for it.

Thanks for the link, very nice..Is it a fussy one? Anything I should know?
(I know, I know, a picture isn't necessary but i'm bored...)
My last one was very fussy, but only as it was dying, so it may have had something wrong with it-it had some black spots on it, and it was before I learned anything about hoyas so just accepted its demise. The new one seems to be happier though, and was a nice, healthy plant when I got it. I've already taken cuttings, and nursed it through mealies, and its still happy and growing. I would say don't let it dry out completely, but don't let it stay too moist either.
