I did some local trading and got two Hoya's.
Sorry about pic quality as it started getting breezy when I was taking the pics.
Bloom is small about the size of my thumbnail.
I really like the rosy tones in the foliage and the edge. The leaves are small again not much bigger than my thumbnail.
This one I just want to confirm but I believe I've found it. It came marked as H. paziae which I guess is really H. Iris Marie ?

OH dear...was sure someone else would pick this up....
Your last photo, as far as I know, is H. cv. Iris Marie. H. paziae may or may not be in circulation...Ted Green sells a hoya like that as H. paziae which it IS similar to...but for me, the jury is still out. I call mine cv. Iris Marie. If the person who traded with you got it from me, that's what it is.
No scent that I could discern.
Honestly the corona on mine looks similar to both the ones you linked to, but, it's got a darker portion in the star. I think the if I had to pick one it would be H. bilobata. The foliage looks more like H.bilobata, but to me the shape and color of the corona is not quite right for either one.
I may have to wait for the other buds to open and try to get a clearer photo. The color on mine is definitely more rosy than either of H. bilobata or H. DS70.
Here's a new bloom, color is different tho you can see shades of the other bloom in it...so maybe it get's darker as it ages ?
but I still think it's H. ruscifoli
Yes, teeny tiny flowers...no scent yet that I can discern.
My thoughts are of one of the H. panchoi...SRQ 0249 or SRQ 0228.
Here is a bloom of the first one...very tiny blooms:
I"ll post photos of the 0228 when they bloom...soon.
Here's the plant...the only difference I notice is no so much red edges on the leaves.
These are really sweet beautiful minis!

I think Joni has it right. Compare the coronas of hers and mjs. can't use color to determine, can't use leaves, really....among the determining factors is the shape of the corona. Other factors you could compare are length of peduncle, andgrowth habit.
Joni,
I like the mini's too ! And this thing is a climbing fool ! It's trying to grab anything even remotely within it's reach. It has ( comparatively for a "small" plant ) long peduncle's..2-3 in. I can tell you that where I got it from they probably got it as as part of a bulk sale at an Orchid show...ya know...last day of the show and everyone is selling off everything they can so they don't have to haul it home. I think I'll have a boat load of blooms soon. (and I hope I can keep it from eating my porch)...I've been giving it more sun, getting it ready for life in the great outdoors.
Can I ask, Joni, Im a little confused by your addition of SRQ suffix to your Hoya labels . I notice you still keep some IML no's, but do you not think it will add to the confusion over where the original plant material came from in the long run. There's enough confusion out there already. I read Ms Burton's last The Hoyan, and I do tend to agree what she said about this.
