Hoya lobbii IML1524 is a clone with orange flowers. There are others with more red flowers. My experience of this hoya is that it is easy to grow and it flowers on a regular basis. My first cutting of Hoya lobbii flowered immediately after it was rooted. It does not need any special attention and it tolerates drought very well. I have my plant in the garden room where night temperatures are cooler. The problem I have with this plant is its shrubby growth. It is not practical trying to support it on a trellis and when grown in a hanging basket the stems grow horizontal which makes it require a lot of space. 

The flowers are very nice as the colours are so bright. The scent is weak. When exposed to sunlight the buds and pedicels are covered with red dots. The peduncle is very short (less than a cm). The leaves are glabrous, dark green and have some silver flecks.

Hoya lobbii is named after its collector Thomas Lobb.
