The HOYA is properly a trailing plant, rooting at the joints, but have been generally cultivated here as a
twiner.
The Fleshy−leaved Hoya, H. carnosa, is vulgarly called the wax flower from its singular star shaped−whitish
pink blossoms, with a deep colored varnished centre, having more the appearance of a wax model than a
production of nature. The flowers appear in globular groups and have a very handsome appearance from the
beginning of April to the close of the rains.
The Green flowered Hoya, H. viridiflora, Nukchukoree, teel kunga, with its green flowers in numerous
groups, is also an interesting plant, it is esteemed also for its medicinal properties.

Try the Garden Web for tons of information on Hoya's from people who have them and tend them. The posters there are very knowledgeable on many different topics but there is actually one board just for Hoya discussions.
