Kim- your plants are lovely. I enjoyed looking at your album. The new hoyas are large. Did you purchase them online? I would love to find a vendor who offers large plants. Thanks!

Thanks again, especially for the candytuft ID, they are the stars of the spiral right now but they're starting to go to seed. I have a fountain in the front yard, and although I agree it would look great I wouldn't want to deal with the hassle in that particular spot. Birds love fountains, consequently they need to be cleaned frequently and it always involves splashing a lot of water on the ground and walking around the fountain a bit. Maybe I could get a birdbath and hook it to the irrigation system, but a statue would be easier and require less maintenance. I think I'm a one fountain person, a second is not something I relish taking care of but I wouldn't dream of getting rid of the one I have. Most recently a bench has been added to the garden, I realized that the place where the path brushes the raised bed is the coolest and most comfortable spot to hang out so I mentioned it to the DH and next thing I knew we had a new bench. I love it, it's perfect for sitting and enjoying my new area.

Mike, All the plants did not come with names, I just knew some already before I bought them.The ones I new were H. aarchboldiane,H.cumingiana,and H.obovate. I know the photos are not very good but I took them as soon as I got off the plane and ripped them out of their box. Sandy, This is how it all works. Every wed and Thur there is an out door plant market in Bangkok with about 1000 plant venders to chose from. You never know what might be at each vender from one week to the next. Unfortunately, not a lot of venders showed up this time of year with hoyas. 1. go early in the morning to find hoys and buy 2. find a shady area to spend an hour cleaning the roots off 3. take taxi to permit office. 4. get them inspected and boxed 5. wait for official documents takes about 2 hours. 6. take boyx of hoyas back to hotel. 7. fax my permits plus Thai permits back to canadian health and food inspection, and ask for permission to bring in my box of hoya plants. 8. wait for our government to fax me back for permission 9. take box of plants with me to airport when i go home, check them in as checked luggage take the box with my copy of papers to the inspection at the airport and sshow them all my paperwork, i have never had the inspector open my box in the 3 times i have done this. get home, open box replant. Everything this time ran very smoothly, I guess third time lucky. The hardest thing this time was the heat. It was 40 degrees with95 percent humidity. Cindy

I love getting hoyas from SRQ! That chlorantha is gorgeous. Alas, I'm pretty much done with getting new hoyas this year, although if I get unexpected extra funds somehow, I have a couple or few that I am dying to get. I'm a little envious though, most of what I've gotten weren't nearly as big as your bunch. However, most of what I've gotten were things that had just finished up rooting and ready for sale, so it's understandable. Good buys, great looking plants, if I had the room, all of these would be on my to get list!

Hiya Kim,

How are ya? Nice to see yr. collection, everything looks very happy, healthy & quite well grown. Can I come & be adopted into yr. greenhouse & live amongst our beloved Hoyas? ;>) Would be a happy life indeed.

Am happy to say that the Hoya cutting you sent me (trying to remember from the office while it's at home, which it was), either David Cummingiana or Nummularioides is doing quite well.

Which are yr. new babies? I only looked at the whole album from the link & then went page by page. I've never seen a H. imperialis w/ wavy leaf edges before, very cool!

Potential ID for yr. unknown Aroid: what abt an Alocasia or Colocasia, tho' I haven't a clue which more specifically? Could it be a diff. variety of what you labeled (of a similiar Aroid/Elephant Ear look) Xanth....?

Hello everyone!

Thanks for the link, Ming. How's it going in Arizona for you? Things are ok so far in TX, although grad school's been a bit rough. Hanging in there, though...

pirate girl...I am wanting to say Karen, is that right? Nice to hear from you! I've not been online much for a good month with traveling home for the holidays and such. Glad to hear the cutting is doing well. My davidcummingi is blooming right now. The link shows all the new ones so far, the addresses show some better pics of some of the plants. I've got a couple cuttings on order that will be shipped when they are ready. The imperialis was received through a trade with a fellow GWber, it has been doing wonderfully since I got it in the fall. I think the aroid you are referring to is not around anymore, I need to go through my pics someday and update. Many things did not survive my moving. However, the hoyas have loved the move. Right now I'm just keeping the cacti and succulent things mainly in the GH, I had some hoyas in there until before the ice storm in Dec. Now that the ground is so dry here, I am afraid to run my little electric heater so everything is in the house for now. Not that my setup isn't safe, I take every precaution I can think of, but it only takes a spark right now. We're I think 8 inches below normal for rainfall.

Well, thanks for keeping in touch everyone! I was lucky enough to receive a new laptop for Christmas so hopefully I will be able to browse at home and be a little more active here.

:) Kim
