    I don't have a clue Erol, but my post will bump your query up and hopefully someone will be able to help image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • Had a hunt through my dad's 'Exotica', but haven't found it yet. Looks like a trailing plant and I presume it's an indoor one?

  • Possible a hoya species. Can't find one with those markings, though (YET!).

    Thanks Fairygirl and Hortum.

    Yep, it's an indoor plant but like you, I can't identify the markings. I'm completely stumped.

    It does look very much like a Hoya as H-C has already said.
    I've just had a quick google (they can't touch you for it) and it is similar to Hoya vitellinoides (Hoya meredith)
    Beautiful leaves you got there Erol

    Thanks Pete!

    I ended up gong to a plant shop and asking there, apparently, it's an Aeschynanthus marmoratus!

    Finally, he has a name!

    Hooray!

    Never heard of that before. I guess the UK climate is too harsh for it here.

    Are you sure it's a he though ;)

    Ha no, IT doesn't seem to be liking the central heating though, the dry air is making its leaves curl and little. Might have to find it a new spot to hang out in.
