EmilyHOST
It's really healthy to have a little bit of a structure of understanding when you get these interpersonal things.
EmilyHOST
dramas in your life in the plant community.
EmilyHOST
We're tying it to Hoyas here.
EmilyHOST
So it's kind of funny that, I mean, funny, not funny, the personalities that are Drawn to the Hoya world, we tend to be very touchy-feely in a way.

Yes, we are speaking in Brower's Talks, this is the show that you're
Phil AchlemanHOST
A big commercial grower put out a guide to its Hoyas in 2024.

Phil AchlemanHOST
Another is Tricolor, also called Crimson Queen.

Phil AchlemanHOST
Before the Hoya Society International existed, she wrote a letter to Ted Green, What a mess is right! At the moment, it appears to me that the best we can hope for in Hoya nomenclature is to differentiate between individual cultivars and species as a means of avoiding purchasing two of the same.
Phil AchlemanHOST
So the big dream was not buying the same plant twice.
Phil AchlemanHOST
She explained why she would not breed Hoyas herself, and it was not about skill.
Phil AchlemanHOST
She had won a hybridizer's award for one of her irises the year before.
Krystal DuranGUEST
And so I love to have more of those things.
Krystal DuranGUEST
And so now I have in the background, little terrarium there with carnivorous plants, and I had the shelf with Hoyas, but nothing like the fans aren't even on.
Krystal DuranGUEST
I have a terrarium downstairs that I converted, a cabinet that I converted into a terrarium.
Krystal DuranGUEST
And that's pretty self-sufficient.
Tanya QuintieriHOST
But to me, very hard to keep happy.
Jos Vanden AbeeleHOST
I mean, we can predict every time I put out a Hoya.
Jos Vanden AbeeleHOST
Tonya is hot.
Jos Vanden AbeeleHOST
She's easy to please with the Hoyas.
Jos Vanden AbeeleHOST
Hoyas are awesome.
Jos Vanden AbeeleHOST
I particularly like this one, like the elbow look of it.
Jos Vanden AbeeleHOST
I think it gives it a...
Tanya QuintieriHOST
Beautiful.
Phil AchlemanHOST
And I think that's a tragedy.
Phil AchlemanHOST
This woman held the Hoya world together for more than 20 years.
Phil AchlemanHOST
She ran its journal.
Phil AchlemanHOST
She kept its membership.
Phil AchlemanHOST
Here's what we know.
Phil AchlemanHOST
Ann Wayman lived in Central Point, Oregon, a small town in the Rogue Valley.
Phil AchlemanHOST
In 1987, she sold Hoyas.
Phil AchlemanHOST
She said so herself in her own journal years later.
Kathy JentzHOST
And especially the, I've been given a Hoya and it bloomed this year the scent is wonderful and they're much quicker growing than I thought they would be I'm already having to like trim this plant
Krystal DuranGUEST
yeah that's exciting but
Kathy JentzHOST
yeah I can see how people get into collecting Hoyas because it's easy to get get into them
Krystal DuranGUEST
I know there's a whole crew of people that I'd say they're considered Hoya haters.
Krystal DuranGUEST
And I say, why? They're so amazing.
Phil AchlemanHOST
The fern was growing high on a tree, gathering fallen leaves, moisture, and whatever else the forest happened to deposit there.
Phil AchlemanHOST
and tucked inside it was a Hoya.
Phil AchlemanHOST
Nobody had ever given it a scientific name.
Phil AchlemanHOST
On the 1st of March, 2011, a Swedish botanist named Natalie Simonsen was collecting plants near Bayberry in Papua New Guinea's San Juan Province.
11 MINS LATER
Phil AchlemanHOST
In 2020, Natali, Radha, and five colleagues published a study examining relationships within the Hoya groups using genetic evidence.
Phil AchlemanHOST
The research identified a distinctive lineage that warranted recognition as a separate genus.
Phil AchlemanHOST
They called it Papua Hoya, not another species of Hoya.
Phil AchlemanHOST
A genus.
Phil AchlemanHOST
There is an irony here that I find impossible to ignore.
Phil AchlemanHOST
A woman spent decades trying to correct the names attached to hoyas.
Phil AchlemanHOST
A fellow botanist honored that work by naming a species after her.
Phil AchlemanHOST
And the plant carrying her name became part of the very identification confusion she had worked so hard to resolve.
Keith FunkHOST
That's a great one.
Keith FunkHOST
And I like Hoyas.
LuAnn AikenHOST

LuAnn AikenHOST
