| I am growing out 3 different clones of this hoya....which I personally really really like. I am noticing, on the original plant that I brought back from Palawan as a cutting, that the leaves on the same plant are quite/VERY different. Yes...perhaps similar but...no way could the description, however cleverly written, of the older leaf on the original cutting be matched to the current growth.... Here is the flower:
Leap. The net will appear. |

| Here is the older leaf. It is quite thick, cardboardy.....

| Here is the second leaf to come out 2 years ago which looks like subsequent leaves....
Leap. The net will appear. |

| And....here are the bases on the backs of the two leaves. NOTE: the base of leaves is one of the 'identifying marks' used in comparisons...in publications....etc. How could anyone match these two?

| I stand corrected. I was told this morning this is NOT H. palawanica but a NOID...and will be called H. sp. Estrella Waterfall (where it was collected). Nothing ever changes....  Leap. The net will appear. |

| Oh awesome, I like the differences on the same plant, but I understand your frustration on naming. Dee |
