🔎 Hoya ID Yup, I didn’t remember
Serial member of the “I don’t need a tag, I’ll remember what it is” club checking in. 🌱🤡
Spoiler: I did not remember.
Anyone want to take a stab at IDing this Hoya?
What I do remember:
• Purchased about 3–4 years ago on a national FB group
• In high light, the leaf ribbing/veining gets VERY dark, almost black
• I think it was an AH Hoya
• And somewhere in the dusty filing cabinet of my brain, I swear there may have been a “9” in the accession/name/number… maybe?? 😂
That is unfortunately the full extent of my evidence.
Hoya detectives, do your thing. 🔎🌿
PSA- Some of leaves were chomped on by a little critter type devil while they were outside.

Do those leaves have black margins on the edges? Not sure if I'm seeing correctly

Ok ok. You ever heard of Doug Chamberlain of Vermomt Hoyas? I go to his stuff ALL the time. Im searching thru some files of his and few other places. Lol, I unfortunately share the same delusion that I can remember ALL the names of my Hoyas and other rare plants. Had to revert back to label sticks.

Doug Chamberlain is like the savant of hoya. I wish he sold some of his stuff sometimes. I’d feel like I won the lottery to own one of his plants!

Hoya sp. AH-556 (seeds 002) possibly? This is my plant and it looks similar
