Description

Hoya mindorensis is a Philippine native that grows as a twining epiphyte. The leaves are quite large for a hoya and feature a prominent midvein. The real draw of this species are the large umbels with strikingly unique flowers. The revolute (backwards-bent) corollas of the flowers are covered in thick, whisker-like hairs that frame the fleshy star-shaped coronas that are vibrant deep red in color. The flowers grow numerously in dense, spherical clusters for an unforgettable display.
