Those are lovely! I would never have guessed the second one is a wax plant, it looks like something entirely different. How many wax plants do you have? And how do you say wax plant in Swedish?
Wow, that's quite a collection. Most of my plants are quite common, such as hibiscus trees and jade plant bonsais. Interesting, hmm...I have some 'heirloom' pelargoniums (ones that aren't sold in shops but passed down from generation to generation), and some very small Zamioculcas zamiifolia plants that I've grown from leaf cuttings (and am quite proud of).
I should have guessed it's porslinsblomma--the Finnish word, posliinikukka, is a literal translation from Swedish, like many plant names and other domestic words.

I have about 25 hoyas and my boyfriend have several as well. Sometimes I've considered selling some of them, but when they bloom... It's priceless.
Wax plant is called porslinsblomma in swedish (which means 'porcelain flower). Do you have any hoyas or other interesting potplants?
