It sure looks like obscura, there is a clone with larger leaves at Violet barn(well, used to). Hoya collina looks like H Biak too.

It really does look like obscura!

Thanks Jan and Kelly that was my suspicion as well. I guess only a close look at the flowers will tell so hopefully the wait is not too long.
I have Hoya sp Irian Jaya #26 as well and it is most likely Hoya collina, has been a tough plant to grow and very slow. The new leaves are irresistible to insects so I have to keep a close watch or the new leaves drop. The Hoya sp Biak has patterned leaves while my plant is plain green but the blooms are the same or at least very close.

I also got coloura and USDA 81079 GPS 10079.Not sure if coloura is obscura or not but some Swedish blogs feel that USDA 810079 GPS 10079 is.I have obscura and I think the leaves on all 3 look a bit different from each other.I will have to wait for flowers.
Mike if do get any info from PS will you pass it a long.

Thanks Cindy. My origional Hoya obscura also came from Paul Shirley and it tends to get redding leaves in bright light but I don't think the Hoya coloura does for some reason. I will try emailing Mr. Shirley tonight.

I heard back from Mr. Shirley and he told me that he has not flowered this Hoya yet so he is unsure of it's identity but that it was received under the name Hoya colaura. I wonder if this means that this Hoya is a shy bloomer? He did not give me any collection data so I am unsure of the country of origin.

Mike

Mike, certainly it's not obscura if it's a shy bloomer.
