Hoya tsangii
As far as hoya flowers go, I would have to say these are far from impressive, IMO. Each flower is maybe the same diameter as the eraser on top of a pencil. Its only real saving grace is the fragrance -- smells like butter cream to me.
Those aren't water drops on the flowers -- rather flowers produce a lot of nectar. (With some species, I understand, this can be a problem indoors as some types are such prodigious producers that they drip all over anything beneath them.)
With higher light the leaves get a pnk/red cast.
No real reason for this pic -- just liked the reflection in the nectar drop.
