What the heck is this?

17 years ago

Awhile ago I traded someone something for something... This guy was an 'extra'. If it ever had a tag... I lost it. When I got it it had 4 leaves & a little piece of stem.

Fairly certain it's not a carnivore, but hopefully someone here will have seen it before.

Obviously it's doing quite well.. Flowering.. Any clues?

It looks to me like a variety of hoya. Not sure which one though. There are about 300 different ones. Very pretty!!

I think it's Dischidia. Dischidia is related to hoya. Also related to "Milkweed." Dischidia are epiphytes. Yours appears to be doing quite well. Last summer I visited the US Botanical Gardens in DC and saw this plant, or one like it anyway. The one there was growing "shingler" style, mounted on a mound of moss.

It does have a similar appearance to Utricularia and Genlisea, but none specifically that I have in cultivation.

It definatly looks like a bladderwort.Check under the soil to see if it has bladder like traps.

That is Dischidia cleistantha. Its a great plant to grow mounted. If you google that name, you should be able to find some more pictures.
