    With Valentine's Day just around the corner there's a plant that's being marketed for the occasion. It is a single, stemless, stiff, waxy, heart-shaped leaf in a small 2-4" pot. The leaves are mostly gray-green but some are variegated creamy white. The plants are unlabelled but at one location there was a sign that said they were hoyas. Does anyone know which species it is? Sorry - no photo.

    Marn, that website appears to be broken. However after some googling, the plant is likely to be Hoya kerrii, Sweetheart Hoya, which also has a variegated form.

    Mystery solved. The site is IE-only - it doesn't work with Mozilla.

    Diversity is good. Nothing like competition to promote continual improvement of the browser. As in the plant world monocultures are not good for the community.
