This is what Wikipedia says about Hoya:
"Hoya is a genus of 200-300 species of tropical climbing plants in the family Apocynaceae (Dogbane), native to southern Asia (India east to southern China and southward), Australia, and Polynesia. Common names for this genus are waxplant, waxvine, waxflower or simply hoya. This genus was named by botanist Robert Brown, in honour of his friend, botanist Thomas Hoy."
And here is a long shot of my Hoya plants. The background doesn't make for a very pretty picture, however, its an excellent spot for them to grow:
And here's a shot of one of my favorites. Its just covered with blooms:
