My first hoya came from a clipping of a plant that was in the house my parents bought. The owners had left it behind. I've had it for over 25 years now & given away lots of clippings from it. All of these plants are moved outside for about 6 months under shade cloth & sprinklers.

2 more got added over the years. The varigated was from Lowe's & a Mother's day gift. Did not get a great pic of the blooms as it was already outside for the summer.

Wow, you have some beautiful, happy and healthy Hoyas! Lovey dubby

Photos #1 and #4 (white blooms) look like Wax Plant (Hoya carnosa)

Photos #7 & #8 the leaves with creamy-white centers and green margins look like Krimson Princess Hoya (Hoya carnosa 'Rubra')

Photo #9 looks like a variety of Wax Plant (Hoya pubicalyx)
Wax Plant (Hoya pubicalyx 'Pink Silver')

Photo #12 Wax Plant (Hoya lacunosa 'Sno Caps')

Photo #13 Krimson Queen Hoya (Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor')

Photo #14 possibly H. carnosa or H. pubicalyx but blooms will be the determining factor for an exact identification.

Thank you! Need to get some labels stuck in the pots nodding Waiting for the smallest ones to get big enough to bloom. They love it under the shade cloth & I find new runners on the older plants several feet long when I bring them in.

Not a lot of the leaves on Snow Caps has the flecks. Is this typical?

It's definitely a variety of Wax Plant (Hoya lacunosa) but as to whether it's actually the cultivar named 'Sno Caps', I'm not sure. The Costa Farms label attached to your plant says Sno Caps Wax Plant but in parentheses it says my full name is Hoya lacunosa albo. The species is lacunosa but there is no species lacunosa albo. The word albo usually represents the color white and some cultivars of H. lacunosa do have white blooms, so I think that's what the albo is referring to.
