Author Garden: Can anyone give this plant a name please Ann Jayne Gardener Member # 9967 posted                       Photo attached but to describe the plant - its varigated, small leaved evergreen, a climbing variety of perhaps either an ivy or ficus or similar. Slow growing. The flowers appeared quietly but are really dramatic - as if sculpted in china, the flowers have 5 stiff pink petals with deeper pink centers and the buds have the same 5 points without the petals and are in the deeper pink. They are in clusters like cherries. Any advice welcome.

I'm moving this topic to the Mystery Plants forum. I can't see your picture the way it's posted, but looked at by putting the url in a different window. The flowers look like the ones on a hoya carnosa...I think that's the name of it. I'll look it up and make sure. Just a second and I'll fix that picture for you so it shows up! * * * * Buckle up! It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car!
