Hi there. What a lovely plant. To your question though….I can’t be totally sure…but it could be well a bilobata rather than a burtoniae. I am saying so just because i do own a couple of burtoniae and to me their leaves looks more oblong than yours in the photo. Having said that…the proof may well showed in the actual flower. Hoya Bilobata will have pink flowers with a darker pink and slightly yellow center, but Hoya Burtoniae has dark pink to reddish flowers with a yellow center.

Do tge leaves have a slightly pubescent (furry) feel or are they slick and smooth? Hoya sp aff burtoniae is always pubescent.
