Hoya sp. cf. lacunosa

 

This is obviously not a Hoya lacunosa, but until it's correctly identified I'll keep it named Hoya sp. cf. lacunosa. Even though the leaves remind of Hoya lacunosa the flowers remind more of the ones of Hoya walliniana and Hoya sipitangensis. But still, this is probably yet another unidentified species.

I grow my plant in a window facing south. The leaves turn red when exposed to full sun. This doesn't happen with any of my Hoya lacunosa. Besides the colour of the flowers another obvious difference from Hoya lacunosa is the colour of the calyx. On this species it's very dark, almost black.
