Hoya Icensis

Hoya Icensis, aka Hoya icensis ‘Patcharawalai’, also widely known as Hoya Patcharawalai 023 or AH Seeds 023, is an unusual collector Hoya believed to have originated as an accidental cross of unknown parentage in or near the AH Hoya Nursery in Thailand. It is admired for its thick, succulent like foliage and beautifully contrasting flowers. The rich green leaves are outlined by a distinctive dark margin, often accompanied by subtle silver flecking or splash across the surface. When mature, the plant produces rounded clusters of reflexed white flowers with vivid pink coronas, creating a striking two tone display. The blooms are also notably fragrant, with a scent often compared to licorice, making this Hoya as interesting to smell as it is to see.
