Shooting Star Hoya
The Latin name is Hoya multiflora. The plant is able to bloom several times in a year. Due to easy growing, it becomes common to see them.

Ted Green is THE MAN when it comes to Hoya and Dischidia species. Rare-Hoyas.

I'm sitting in my house alone, and I actually said "Wow!" out loud when I clicked open the picture.

Ted Green sends very healthy unrooted cuttings of this and even better species. They are almost all easy to root if you have warm temperatures, high humidity and very well-draining medium. I use pure pumice in a taller than wide rooting pot, then transplant them in a year once rooted. They root better with a heat mat during fall/winter/spring.
Another approach is to root them in an inverted translucent plastic shoe box. Put an egg carton lid (the part without individual wells) on the inverted lid. Fill with some potting soil. Get it moist but not wet. Set the cutting horizontally on top of the soil, not in it. Cover with the box and set on a heat mat under your lights. Let it get dry inside before watering again. When rooted, and during warm weather, transplant to another container.
I grow Hoya curtisii in a shoe box all the time. I couldn't keep it alive before this.
