No, John, though he and I did obtain it from the same individual.

Upon doing some research based on a lead someone gave me, it appears that no one seems quite sure as to what it is. For example, I have found it ID'ed as:

Ceropegia cf radicans ssp smithii -- which indicates that this should be "cf"/compared to or consider to possibly be a form or subspecies of C. radicans.

Then in another source, it was noted that many botanists consider flowering plants like this to be a ssp or variety of C. radicans.

Still others believe it to be a naturally occurring hybrid of C. sandersonii x C. radicans as there have been man-made hybrids of these two which strongly resemble the flower my plant has.

Clear as mud, yes?

Uh, yeah, sure.....I have one I got from him, but I haven't seen it bloom. I hope it will be like yours.
