Hoya lacunosa 'Tove' comes from Bystrup Planter in Denmark and is named after Tove Bystrup.

In my experience Hoya lacunosa 'Tove' requires a lot of light to develop pink flowers. When in bloom in winter or in a shaded window they are white as any other Hoya lacunosa. New growth (stems and leaves) also turn red when exposed to sunlight. The leaves are a bit smaller than on my other varieties of Hoya lacunosa. It is as easy as grow as the others and doesn't require a lot attention.  

When it flowers you'll know it from the lovely perfume scent it spreads in the room. I think this species is well worth growing, especially if you have a space where it can get exposed to some sunlight, so it gets those nice pink coloured flowers.
