Hoya 'Red Buttons'
An open-pollinated seedling from Genieve McDonald, long sold as a pubicalyx. Seedling progeny later showed the parents to be H. pubicalyx and H. carnosa, but the order is unknown; the order here follows Miyashiro's 'carnosa x pubicalyx'. The flowers are very dark red, with near-black coronas that vary in colour, especially in hot weather.
