    I have a lovely plant that my mom gave me a clipping too 5 yrs ago. It seldom bud's, but when it does, it has these beautiful little dusty rose blooms on it, that are extremely fragrant. This is the first time I've been able to catch the buds long enough to get photo's for ID. They haven't opened yet, but as soon as they do, I will post those photo's as well. Does anyone know what this is? My mom's friend who gave her the original cutting to this plant pasted away last year, and my mom can't remember what it was called.

    I appreciate any help you can give me.

    Thanks,

    Sojourner

    I found out that it is probable a Hoya Carnosa, and it finally opened today (3-21-11). I have attached a pic so you can see. Thank you everyone for your help on my plants ID. :)
