Default What hoya?

Got this from recent plant show. The flower is abt the size of our local 50 cents coin. Very waxy and plastic like. Any idea if what it is?

Andy,
sorry, just saw it.
I believe this is Hoya cv Ruthie.

Yep, I'd agree - sure looks like H. cv Ruthie to me! I think I found one at the plant sale at the exhibition at the Botanical Garden in Penang last Nov. Still waiting for it to flower and hoping its as nice as yours! It looks very vigorous, hopefully you will be able to make lots of cuttings soon!

Shawn,
This plant is a crazy grower. They grow and grow but quite reluctant to bloom... or at least at my place.
If you do not have this one, please let me know.
