| at least i think it is
i googled myself stoopid the other day with every flag i could think of and found Nothing even close to what this looks like.
i brought some cuttings down to s. fl. from my mothers house in jersey where she has some of these as houseplants . . and they do Very well for her.
we even noticed that when they interact with other plants (like her phillies, that are also incredible) the vine itself gets pink, and the branch of the vine that's touching the other plants gets Considerably more pink as well as starting wrapping like other climbing vines.
my cuttings didn't fare so well, i lost one and the tip of this one . . .
(ignore the philly in the upper right)
but it lived. I'm rather excited cause i noticed recently that it FINALLY started pushing a new tip (i hope)
but again, i have no idea what this is. all the leaves are chubby, like a succulent. they're all variegated. and it's deffinatly a vine. most every leaf gets a little pink fringe/shading and i find (whole specimens at least) very pleasing
better pic of the pink shading
tx in advance for your help, i've gotten a green bug lately and damn near all my googling winds me up on gardenweb!

So yeah, i called my mom and auntie this morning about this guy, my mom got it in part of an arrangement but my aunt had been suspecting it to be hoya rubra for some time apparently . . it got her motivated enough to google it and confirm that it's rubra. so i have my answer =) after reading some of the other threads in the hoya forum i've learned that it shouldn't be in the communal pot. so i'll get that in something a little cozier =) tx for your help eloise!! now if we could get a solid answer on weather or not they bloom lol, i've never seen my moms bloom and she's had them for years, but ppl in the hoya rubra threads say they can /shrug we'll see =P |

| You are welcomed y2k. They do bloom as Marcie stated. I've seen some with bloom, but my variegated and the solid green are only about 6" long so I don't expect bloom anytime soon, LOL! Good luck with yours. |
