picked up this beauty today, no name

Judsonia, AR(Zone 7b)

Any ideas by looking at the leaves?

it's been sprayed , with something that leaves it white, but that can be wiped off, the leaves are solid green.


any ideas?

I love the looks of it.

My guess would be, the first hoya carnosa krinkle 8 and the second one hoya publicalix.
Congratulations, they are very pretty.

well, the leaves on this hoya krinkle 8 have more of a point onthem than mine in pics one and two.

what do you all think

Is this spelled wrong, nothing came up when I searched it

hoya publicalix

Sorry, my mistake publicalyx. My krinkle has some point leaves and some round.
I might be wrong.

My guess for the first would be Hoya carnosa 'Chelsea', and the second one looks like the plain Hoya carnosa.

By the way, I didn't think it was krinkle 8 (the first one) because the leaves look much smaller and don't seem to have the 8 "krinkles" (4 "dimples" on each side). Nice scores!

Ok - I just looked on Ebay (where I've seen H. carnosa 'Chelsea' sold by cowboyflowerman, and I found a posting of it. The pic really does look like your first hoya.

Sorry, I thought it as the other one

Carnegie, PA

Chelsea was my first thought too and I agree the second looks like a regular Carnosa. Both are beautiful!
