Cinta: Your beautiful plant is definitely a Hoya carnosa. There are many cultivars of H. carnosa, some with variegated foliage. I have one carnosa that was a gift as a very small plant from a dear friend in 1976; it was the Krimson Princess (Hoya carnosa 'Rubra'), this photo is from 2009: My plant lost all of the leaf variegation years ago and now has solid green leaves. I have a few Hoya carnosa's and I've never detected fragrance on any of them but it may be because my plants stay outside on the porch, deck or hanging in trees. I might have to bring one in that's blooming now to see if I can smell anything this evening. Green Grin!

joejoe: Your Hoya's look very happy and healthy! Lovey dubby

I used to have a huge Hindu Rope Hoya ... it was a mealybug magnet during the hot humid summers here and I'd have to spend hours with q-tips and isopropyl alcohol trying to get into all those nooks and crannies to eradicate those bugs! I ended up losing the plant to a winter freeze along with lots of other tropical plants but I don't miss that one at all, LOL.
