I've had this plant for quite a few years. It finally bloomed for me in the last few. I've always wondered what variety it was; it has some variegation on the leaves. I checked the plant database but was not able to identify it. Can anyone identify it from the leaves or is it necessary to have a pic of the flowers? Thanks!

What color were the blooms?

Wax Plant (Hoya carnosa) can have splashes in the leaves; flowers are usually white to pale pink:


Or possibly one of the H. pubicalyx varieties; http://garden.org/plants/searc... some have splashes in the leaves.

H. pubicalyx usually has darker pink to purplish flowers:

Thanks Lin! Think you nailed it with "Pink Silver. " The leaves usually have more silvery splotches than show on this pic, I think because less sunlight in the summer months indoors. The flowers were a darker pinkish tone and wow so fragrant! It took its time to flower but it was worth it once it did. Thanks again.
