This plant was given to us and within a year it grew so fast. I put string up to the ceiling & along the top of our picture window on the south side of our house. The leaves went wild and then this year we got gorgeous star shaped light pink flower heads with each petal having a dark burgundy red star shape center. It is dripping with sap. I do not know the variety and have searched online. Does anyone know?

Do you have a picture of the leaves? It looks like hoya carnosa to me from the bloom picture, but it is a little blurry.

Found this site that shows ALOT of varieties with photos:

No, sorry, leaf shape is wrong for Bella (which has lance shaped leaves). I too think it's a Carnosa, very nice!
