Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it, and to those who don’t the day length should start getting a little longer each day so be happy anyway!

Hoya ‘Nathalie’ was named in honor of Nathalie Evelinadotter Simonsson, now Nathalie Simonsson Juhonewe.  She is Swedish, and a present day botanical explorer who has discovered a large array of new Hoya species on collecting trips all over the Hoya growing world.  She has also done amazing work with the deaf  population of Papua New Guinea.
