No, not rare. It looks to me like you have a carnosa 'Krimson Princess' that has reverted back to all green, then shot out an all white vine. The all white shoots happen often with 'Krimson Queen', not as often with 'Princess'. Don't you love it!

Makes perfect sense, any yes I love it! Thank you for your comment Denise. Even still.. The fact that I can't find not ONE picture on the net of this makes think it may be rare. Ya know

I forgot to add that the leaves are all white, it's not bordered with green or any other color and the stem to the pale shoots are red..

Spoke too soon. Denise you were right I was looking under princess, not queen! Thanks for helping me find my baby, I now have 4 from this mother plant! I hope I can get the same effect from the others, they don't seem to grow very fast though :(

Variegated usually grow considerably slower than their green counterparts. As long as they're healthy, I'm happy! One of my favorite Hoyas only puts on a few leaves each year. But oh it is so pretty!!

Mine does it too, but just because it isn't "rare" doesn't make it less beautiful!

Denise, you are fine. I am still laughing too, and *may* have shared the pun with friends and *may* still be laughing everytime I see my lacunosa cutting...;)

Kim. your right, not being rare does not make it less beautiful. But I enjoy the feeling of having something rare, it makes me feel connected to this big Ol' world lol. Idon't think people should feel ashamed for seeking out the "rare beauties" a rare Hoya is exciting! I adore my Slow Queen, I spend so much time looking at her.

Yep, not rare. My baby KQ is doing that, too. I like it, though.

YEP the pale spray, It's beautiful! You say not rare, but mine has no variegated leaves...not one. Your plant looks like the KQ. Like Denise said my leaves must have all reverted. When i researched KQ with reverted leaves, I found a picture on-line of one like mine. Your baby even has yellow, I really like it. :)

Stonetreehouse. This is my KQ that kinda looks like yours. I wish I had the yellow tones in mine because It would go with my home decor

Ooo pretty! Yours looks so happy and healthy! Oh, my KQ isn't yellow. I think you're seeing the Bougainvillea (variegated) next to it and photobombing. ;-)

Jeez, I was gonna ask about a clipping! StoneTreeHouse, don't you think the leaves of our KQ look exactly the same shape? Well my KQ on the top photo has leaves that are completely diffrent..do you know why? Im wondering If species can have different types within the species, if that makes any sense. Like, can Hoya carnosa have different looking leaves even though the are both the same?

Dunno, that is odd on the different shape, but hoyas are such a diverse bunch. I bet Denise or GG would know about that. I have a H. carnosa "Compacta" that has REALLY different leaves, not quite curled enough to qualify as a regular Compacta and not at all Krinkle 8 or anything else. I see different colored blooms on all the different carnosas, too. Very interesting. . . .

I really like your carnosa KQ with the solid green leaves and the white spray. Even if it's not some rare new variety, it is really unusual and special. When I have a plant like that, I name it and keep it. ;-)

Shes also "my first." Naming her is a great idea, and maybe if i name her she'll grow for me. Lol

Thanks do much for your insight, you Hoya peeps are pretty cool :)
