    Cruising thru the forum, I saw your query. I am fairly sure that your Hoya is H. fungii, also known as H. carnosa from Vietnam. H. carnosa has many cultivars but this is a separately recognized species, probably related to H. carnosa, though. For my taste, it has more attractive leaves, larger umbels and prettier flowers than H. carnosa. Good find! Enjoy.
