    So you have Hoya obovata... Nice, I don't think they are a common plant.

    Must be pretty rare, this is the first time I've seen someone with one. Good score, you get lucky sometimes even at the bad nurseries.

    Thanks Barb!
    Here's a closer look at the leaf.

    Certainly looks like the obovata to me. What do you think?

    Thanks Mrs. H!
    All the lady at the nursery said was to keep it shady and don't leave it out when it gets close freezing. Or grow it as a houseplant. I don't really have enough natural light for houseplants, so I opted to hang it in a tree.
    Wow... guess I'd better do some reading on how to take care of it.
    And yes Toni... I'll post the photos to the "Plants" section. :D

    I was getting a little concerned about the white/silver flecks... but from what I just read... they are it's "freckles". I also read that it's better to be on a trellis (although hanging is okay too). I think I'll just leave it hanging for now. And maybe try to figure out a place where I could put a trellis (which is going to be a little difficult).
