Wow Rick, sounds like you got a nice variety of Hoyas! Look forward to seeing your photos!

I got interested in Hoyas when I joined DG in 2006 and at one time I had quite a few, mostly the more common Exotic Angel Plants from Home Depot and Walmart garden centers which I ended up with multiples of! I've downsized greatly with all types of plants the past few years but still have many that I grew from cuttings received in trades and a co-op from those times on DG:

H. aucta - which apparently is now considered H. verticillata
H. australis
H. cummingiana
H. obovata
H. kerrii
H. carnosa
H. memoria
H. polyneura - This one is an Exotic Angel plant that desperately needs re-potting and has never has done well in my care.
H. finlaysonii - From a trade on DG @ six years ago, it's been a very slow grower, almost dying completely at one point but I managed to take a cutting and got it going again yet it still doesn't look all that great and has only bloomed once in the years I've had it.

Oh yeah, and I recently won a raffle here on ATP and got from HRQ Hoyas, pretty little H. heuschkeliana, H. nummularioides and H. curtisii (another that struggles under my care.)
I used to have large plants of both heuschkeliana and nummularioides but lost them to a winter freeze so I'm so happy to have these little ones to grow out again and the heuschkeliana even has a bloom!
