I went to the Cascade Cactus and Succulent Society's annual show and sale, to help out today, and walked away with a few goodies, and one NOID Hoya. Many of the plants this year where from the collection of a member that passed away earlier this year, so they were not starts, but plants that had been part of a collection for many years.
I felt lucky to have gotten this plant, as it appears to have been the mother plant to a number of other Hoyas at the show.
The plant has relatively long leaves, which are spotted. You can tell me if its just another carnosa, as that would make 2 plants which I have mis-IDed as new to my collection. The other was using an old name for the plant....
Can yall tell me what this might be?
It looks like pubicalyx pink silver but hard to tell without the flower picture.

Yep, pubicalyx would be my guess.

I'm wid'dem! Hard to tell which H. pubicalyx...but a nice plant!!!
Most excellent. I really liked the long leaves, and was hoping for something I didn't have. No biggie on the cultivar or ssp, as I would just love to see something bloom for me next year. This plant did not have any peduncles as far as I could see, so I guess it has a need for some more growth before flowering.
AD - I find that the pubicalyx, along with many many other hoya, really like to feel like they are climbing...and they bloom well! Even a big trellis works well!
That's good news Aloha...the next time DH nags me about all of the Hoyas climbing along the curtain rods and onto the ceiling I can just tell him they'll bloom better up there ^_^
