Identifying a Houseplant?

Identifying a Houseplant  - closeup of flowerI bought this plant at the estate sale after my elderly neighbor died. The leaves are quite hard and shiny and it's actually flowered this spring with a plume of small fuzzy light pink blooms with darker pink centers.

I believe you have a wax begonia. It gets the name wax because of its shiny leaves.

It looks like your plant is a Hoya carnosa, also known as waxplant, waxflower, or waxvine. It is a vine and can be grown outdoors in warmer climates or indoors in colder areas. Outdoor USDA zones range from 10B 11. Plants can have all green or variegated leaves.

This is a Hoya/ Indian rope. Lucky you to see the awesome waxy blooms! Take great care of I. I had mine for over a year and last winter the leaves began to shrivel. I may have over watered it.
