Hi all I`m Sal from Uk been suggested UBC by a friend A friend of mine got this plants and we really can`t find what is it... sold as HOYA , but we really not sure what that is plant as flower as attachments
I can't tell if the leaves are oppositely or alternately arranged (they are opposite in Hoya), but the flowers are arranged in what looks like a compound cyme. Hoya flowers are in umbel-like inflorescences, so this can't be a Hoya. If no one can recognize it by sight, it would be helpful to have a close up of an individual flower, with some kind of scale, and a picture that shows the attachment of the leaf to the stem.
That colored branching structure for the flowers reminds me of Medinilla, and the leaves seem in the ballpark too. I know there are hundreds of species of them, but I don't know much about them myself.
Tom that is actually a really good option , but the medinilla flowers have 4 petals against the 5 of the hoya , the plant in the picture look like an hoya flower ......but it`s a really good guess
There are Medinilla flowers with five petals, but the leaves on that species seem very different with their parallel veining. I keep thinking these pink things look like sepals, like in Clerodendrum, but I'm not finding any of those with such tiny flowers, if the bits in the centre would be the flowers, and Clerodendrum all seem to have leaves with pointed tips. There is something very familiar-looking about this though. I'm looking forward to seeing the requested photos.
Another one that this reminds me of slightly is Leea, with the tiny flowers on a colored branching structure and similar veining on the leaves (on the bigger-leafed species). I don't really think this is a Leea, but it makes me wonder if it is hiding close by in Vitaceae?
