Eileen, that is a lovely Hoya but I don't think it's brevialata which has blooms of a lighter color. For comparison check out more images of H. brevialata here:

To me your plant more resembles:
Wax Plant (Hoya 'DS-70')

Eight or so years ago Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart garden centers always carried lots of Hoya's from Exotic Angel Plants; H. brevialata, H. bilobata and H. DS-70 as well as the variegated Hoya carnosa's and the Hindu Rope Hoyas. There always seemed to be lots of confusion with Hoya brevialata, bilobata, tsangii and DS-70.
