Flowers from last year...

I cannot recall is they were fragrant or not.

That's a cutie hoya. Looks like smallish leaves, picta? But I guess you would know that one and have it in your collection already. :)

I want to guess anulata, but I'm betting that would be too obvious!

Hmmm...the leaves are actually medium to large but the blooms do resemble my H. anulata.
Maybe it is another form of anulata...I ordered a few others from DL...so I may get my answer soon?
It was sent to me in a pot with my H. aff. albiflora so I have no idea what it may be.
I do like the coloring though...some leaves have streaks of red/pink and the new leaves are variagated.
It did absolutely nothing for almost a year and until I cut off the top...then it took off.
The tip I cut off is rooted but still just sits there?

I am going to guess from the colorful leaves that it is H. aff. anulata - which is just like the regular anulata but the leaves are much bigger.

Here is a comparison of both the leaves.
The one on the right is H. aff. anulata IML 0024 and the NOID is on the left.

Whatever Hoya it is, it's got very pretty foliage as well as bloom. I really like the looks of the leaves on that one and the bloom is gorgeous! They were in the same pot when you received them? Such a difference in size of leaves, looks like the Noid got more vitamins or steroids than the other! ^_^

Lin,
These were not in the same pot...the larger leafed one was in a pot with H. aff. albiflora. I really love it....then underside of the leaves is red...on the mature ones!

Joni...one of the identifiers will be the bases of the leaves. On anulata and aff anulata the bases of the leaves are 'terete'...or kinda squarish to the petiole....

Keaau, HI(Zone 11)

Here are the bases I spoke of, above. Few hoyas have it...and it is a determining factor of H. anulata. The aff. anulata is the same only leaves are about 3 x bigger...flowers the same.
