Hoya ID please

Jerusalem, Israel

I bought this hoya as H. australis.
Some of the leaves look like H. australis but some have heart shape,and
the flowers are nothing like H. australis.I'll post a pic's of the leaves, buds and flowers.

Thanks for any help.

And the flowers.

The flowers look like Hoya carnosa to me. If you break a stem and its clear sap, I would guess carnosa. Interesting leaves!

Yeah....I am with Ric. Could be some sort of seedling of a wild cross involving carnosa or obovata...flowers want to be more carnosa. What is the fragrance?

Thanks ric and Carol.
There is clear sap and the fragrance is like carnosa but the leaves are very thick,with
pale green and round/heart shape.

At this pic, the carnosa leaf is on the left side next to the NOID hoya.

That is a very unusual leaf for a carnosa...... like Carol mentioned, there could be some obovata or kerrii in its genes of it could be a sport of any of the different carnosas out there.

It looks a bit like the Hoya Chelsea that was being discussed previously - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/844979/ only without so much of the Krinkle-8 style indents. Possibly a sport of that?

Jerusalem, Israel

I think that it looks like H. chelsea but without the krinkeles.

My H. obovata bloom this morning , the flowers are VERY pink.
