Hoya Bella is beautiful as its name declares. Most graceful and orderly looking, the straight vines grow outward, gently curving down to a lovely trail, with even pairs of rich, velvety green, diamond-shaped leaves down to the tips of his stems, with yellow in the centers of the leaves along the still green midrib. The foliage has a soft texture with soft, little hairs if you look close, deep midribs giving a slightly folded aspect, with vines overlapping and laying on each other in gentle fullness on older plants. Now, this newish one, 'Luis Bois' or, the "inner variegated" one (there IS an "outer variegated" one too, 'Anneke Bois') is a lovely, naturally occurring sport. Luis has beautiful flowers, multitudes of bright white, waxy, stars with little, perfect, magenta stars in the middle of that with so much fragrant nectar it sometimes drips off the flowers. This is a beautiful plant, just like the regular Bella, but more colorful.
