    Hi,

    Can anyone help please?

    I took a slip of my Aunts plant about 3 years ago. It's a beautiful trailing plant which has grown a lot. It has a white flower but mine has yet to produce.
    I have no idea of the name and neither does my Aunt.

    Thanks.

    Ah Thanks!

    I would never have guessed.

    I have another hoya with much smaller leaves. I've had it for 10 years or more.
    Now I can't wait to see this one flower...hopefully it will.

    I have what looks to be the same hoya you have with the spots (H. carnosa) No flowers yet:( The flowers will have a red center.

    I am looking forward to the flowers on this one.

    The other hoya I have we call star of bethlehem. It is beautiful when it flowers.

    Ahhh, ok. I have just a small rooted section of bella, so it will be quite a while before it decides to flower.
