Their Hoya 'Para' Albomarginata produced flowers showing variegation in the corolla itself. Because this has so far been reported as an individual cultivation observation, it is not known whether variegated flowers are a stable characteristic of the clone or an occasional expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eName in cultivation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hoya 'Para'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Albomarginata \/ Outer Variegated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical identity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Undetermined\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotable features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark green foliage with variable cream-to-white outer variegation and potential pink-to-red coloration along the margins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that the width, placement, and coloration of the variegated margins can vary naturally from leaf to leaf, and the appearance of future growth cannot be guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note about this plant:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe naming, identity, flowering observations, and horticultural background information above were gathered from publicly available online sources.
