Hi Rose, welcome to our group. There are a lot of friendly nice people here. I think you will enjoy being here. Please tell us a little about yourself so that we may get to know you. What do you like to grow? Any animals/pets? Where in Texas is San Benito?

I am a Medical assistant who loves but loves hibiscus plants and any flower that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. I have no pets :(. I simply adore cacti and succulents. I am in plenty of plant groups, I was raised around plants and medicinal herbs. My new adventure is planting herbs. I actually have a plant that may be a hoya... I have 2 groups disagreeing about the ID. I love her. I was wondering if I could post a picture and ask, thank you for allowing me into your lives... Oh by the way, I am a genius in the kitchen.☺☺☺

Hi Rose, and welcome from Missouri. I bet hibiscus do beautifully in Texas. Sure, go ahead and post a pic. Maybe someone will have an idea.
Thank you for the kind welcome, I appreciate it so much. My hibiscus do great here, they are tropical babes. I will post my pic very soon, thanks again

Some places around here, mostly nearer the coast or creeks, Hibiscus and some tropical plants grow. Actual Hoya have a set of 5 petals and another smaller set over those called a corona. The flowers are more waxy looking than regular Asclepias, and tend toward pinks and whites, and I don't think they come in orange colors. The plant will be more a vine than a bush, and might actually have vine parts that are air roots.

I sometimes see Hoya growing when I go to San Francisco, which has a cool, moist aired, subtropical climate, which almost never frosts.
