Hoya Illustration T-Shirt

Hoya people wait. A cutting can sit for a long while doing nothing visible, and then one season a spur appears and a ball of small waxy stars opens on it. Plate No. 3 is that moment: a twining stem with pairs of thick oval leaves, and one full cluster of flowers hanging below, each bloom a five-pointed star with a smaller star at its centre.

We drew the flower stalk as well as the flowers, because anyone who grows a hoya knows the stalk is the part you never cut off. The cluster sits just left of centre on the chest with the stem climbing away over the shoulder side.

• Colours: Paper, Oxblood or Overcast.
• Print: front, chest height, about a hand and a half wide.
• Good for: the collector with a wishlist plant and a shelf that is already full.

Plate No. 3. Hoya (wax plant) (Hoya carnosa). The drawing shows opposite pairs of thick oval leaves on a twining stem and one rounded cluster (umbel) of star-shaped flowers on its stalk.
