Hoya aldrichii Hemsley

This hoya comes from Malaysia and it was described in 1890.

It's a climbing hoya with rather big leaves, about 8-12 cm long and 4-6 cm wide. The leaves have visible veins and they are rather shiny. The leaves are hard and quite thick and don't seem to have any flecks.

The flowers are said to have light pink corolla and the corona is a bit darker pink. I've only seen the flowers in a photo (so far!) and they look rather flat, about 1-1.5 cm in diameter in size. I've found no information about how long the flowers last or if they are fragrant or not... Some day perhaps one of my own plants will flower! But then they need to really start growing first...
