  1. The first plant seems to match what is sold/circulated on the market as Hoya ‘Sunrise’, but is not that cultivar (as in not clones of the seedling crossed by Michael Miyashiro and selected for/published as Hoya ‘Sunrise’ or indistinguishable from it). It needs its own cultivar name, but for now I would tag it as “what the hobby incorrectly grows as ‘Sunrise’” or something to that effect😅 it’s a nightmare as so many people know and grow it as ‘Sunrise’ that when it finally does get its own cultivar name, it will be like pulling teeth to correct the confusion (which is the only reason I mention it here, planting those seeds so speak lol).

    The second plant looks akin to H. vitellinoides vegetatively, but the first photo of the umbel is unopened buds. If the second was taken recently, they should all be open by now and some nice close-up photos of the opened flowers would help to confirm the ID.🙂💚
