OM DENNE PODCAST 🔗
Every hoya is named for a real person. Each week, Phil Achleman tells the story behind the name: the collectors, botanists, gardeners, and obsessives whose lives got attached to a plant. Hoya kerrii, Hoya clemensiorum, Hoya meredithii, and the gardener whose name became the entire genus.

Updated September 2026: an earlier version of this episode included a quote I could not verify. It has been corrected, and the audio above is the fixed version. The plant's story turned out to be better than the first draft anyway.
