hoyahoya
genusgenusTropical climbing or trailing plants known for their thick, waxy leaves and clusters of star-shaped flowers that often appear porcelain-like in texture. These fascinating plants can grow both upward and downward, producing sweetly fragrant blooms in spherical clusters.
Etymology
The genus was named in honor of Thomas Hoy, a botanist who worked as the gardener to the Duke of Northumberland at Sion House in England during the late 18th century.
Interesting fact!
The flowers produce sweet nectar that can actually drip from the blooms, earning these plants a reputation as 'honey producers' in their native habitats.
