Habit: Woody creeper

Yes wonderful photographs….
I love Hoyas, as houseplants they are so docile and not demanding…
they just sit there and periodically reward you with these long-lasting waxy, sometimes fragrant flowers… thank you for showing this variety…


Hoyas are my second love after orchids and this one is a delight. Is this plant really a parasite as the name suggests?

Please help to know these Hoyas


Third pic is Hoya wightii is suppose


Will go with … ID


It is amazing that IDs flow with just pictures without any info on location, habit, habitat, leaves and sizes of flowers. These Hoyas seem to be from NE and it is not clear even as to how many sp. are included. Very interesting plants anyway.


Seems to match with images of Hoya parasitica (Roxb.) Wall. ex Wight
