Hoya MB 1247 came to me as a cutting from a very nice and knowledgeable grower from Michigan in mid to late 2022. All I knew about it was that it was a Mike Bernardo cross between Hoya erythrostemma and Hoya erythrina. It quickly rooted and grew well enough for the next several months. It budded up and flowered for me for the first time in November of 2023.
