Hoya skinneriana (Hoya 'Dee's Big One')

Hoya skinneriana, also sold as Hoya 'Dee's Big One'. The foliage is thick, glossy, elliptical, green, and without splash. It has a vining habit, with trailing shoots. Under good growing conditions, it forms dense, pink-purple, fluffy umbels with a cream corona and burgundy center. The flowers are fragrant. Blooming depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions. The pink-and-cream umbels are sure to attract attention.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are elliptical, thick, glossy, and uniformly dark green. The central vein is visible, but the leaf blade has no splash and no variegation. The shoots are flexible and can be left to trail or trained onto a support.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers appear in almost spherical, dense umbels composed of pubescent, star-shaped flowers. The corolla is pink-purple, the corona is cream, and the center is burgundy. Blooming depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. Hoya skinneriana and the trade name 'Dee's Big One'. 'Dee's Material' has circulated in collections under both labels, sometimes later disputed even by the growers who propagated it.
