At first I thought this was parasitica, but it blooms from a pendicule not at the nodes.
Then I started thinking rosea...maybe?.Thoughts ?
Bloom is very tiny...less than 1/4 the size of a pencil eraser if that.
Growth habit is twining, climbing then hangs when the stems get heavy then turn and climb back up on itself.

Hey MJ, I think it looks like rosea as well. go to dischidia.com and look at the different dischidia.

I have a rosea I got from TG but hasn't bloomed nor grown much, but since I got it late last summer I really didn't expect much growth. Will have to take a picture of the leaves.

This one is just about a year from getting the cuttings.
Anyone have any idea what's up with Dischidia.com? It appears the site is down.

Hmm I have had my rosea for about a year and it has not done anything, no new growth, no dead growth, just there.

Dee, It's been VERY vigorous for me...all of them have, just not all have bloomed...they love warm humid weather, and are all growing like gangbusters now.

Hmm, do you give them bright light, direct sun, etc? I have them in semi shade.

Dee, they get anywhere from shade to a bit of direct sun. They are under the Oak Trees..where the light changed throughout the day. I fertilize with the same bloom fertilizer I use for the Orchids and Hoya's.
