Sorry about the photo coming out sideways. Not sure how to fix that on my phone. Here's another photo.

And lastly here's another photo a bit closer. Let me know if anyone wants a different angle. Unfortunately it doesn't have any peduncles or flowers which would make the process easier.

Hey nurse boy,

As you surmised, it's definitely not patella, which has wider, shorter, fuzzy leaves. It looks like pauciflora, to me.

This is a plant that always did really well for me, without any special needs. It tolerates drought well and grows pretty quickly. So, I was taken aback when I recently nearly lost it. Luckily I was able to bring it back from the grave from a desiccated last vine. A few months later it's looking great, has grown out, and I appreciate it more than ever! I think you'll love it and it's a great gift!

Glad to hear from you! :)

Hey greedy ghost, just checked a few photos on Google and that is exactly what it looks like. I looking forward to it flowering. Thank you very much for the id!

Nurse Boy,

GG is right about it being Hoya pauciflora, which happens to be one of my absolute favorite Hoyas. The most blooms, and, or, buds, that I've had on it at one time is eight, and that was in a cool, humid, basement grow tent. I used to think that it would only flower under those conditions, but this winter it flowered 3 separate times in the regular house at 68ðF with pretty dry conditions.

Here is a photo of the flower from this year:

Thanks for that Vermont hoyas. It does seem to have nice blooms. I just hope I can give it the cooler conditions that it needs. Might be a bit difficult here in Australia!
