I love this site. This is a plant that a friend of mine has and she has no idea what it is - I told her I have the best place to figure it out... Thank you!

It may be a Hoya.

I agree with carol23, it is a hoya.
It appears that the leaves are variegated, with white on the outside edges of the leaf. If so, it possibly is Hoya carnosa krimson queen.

I posted the wrong one - this is a better look at the leaves. I can't wait to give the information to my friend. Thank You!!!!

Still a hoya...do the flowers have a really cloying scent? It looks like it is suffering some sort of nutrient deficiency - the leaves should be a lot more green.

It could be getting too much light, too. Mine are in complete shade and growing like weeds. Yes, it's a hoya.
