Among the gems of Philippine flora are our native and endemic hoyas. Hoyas have beautiful flowers and some of them are even scented and can perfume a garden.
When I first saw a hoya plant, I was not really interested since what I saw was a very viny specimen. But when I realized that the creeping nature of this plant can spawn a possible industry in making plant containers and trainers, I began to be interested and tried to learn more about it.
Now I have become an enthusiast and am thinking of collecting the many hoya varieties.. I wonder how long will my enthusiasm last though.
I also have this idea of promoting the hoya as a signature plant of a Filipino garden or even as an indoor decorative plant. One nice thing about the hoyas is that they are supposed to be very hardy plants.
