This clone of Hoya obscura has more apricot coloured flowers, which is different from the yellow coloured clone I also have. Also the leaves are somewhat different as they are darker green and not as thick as on my other plant. The leaves have more wavy edes and do not get the red tint if exposed to the sun.

Otherwise, this Hoya obscura is as easy to grow as other clones and it is well worth growing. The fragrant flowers are just lovely!
