Marge, Since getting the feedback on the seedling, I looked up hose to hose double and found some real beauties!! I had never heard of them before. Geeze. I really enjoy the chat on this forum, so much knowledge here and so many gorgeous flowers! I am curious, can someone explain to me the difference in a "hose to hose double" and a "bearded" lily, like Michaels Sword? Sheila

I do indeed. It was so big I had a hard time getting it in the car, for $15. Nancy

Thanks everyone for being at my side. YES! I'm very lucky, it was the happiest day. If you was there, hoya people, (I was thinking of you in that moment), my mouth was open wide, I said, my gosh, my gosh, it is a hoya!!. Jan, I double checked Obovata, the leave was bendind downward because the branch was growing down, now I put them standing up. It that make sense? Jaci polyslachya leaf only is worth it to grow, it is as big as my hand, really beautiful. I will let you you know when it root. sue

Yeah Tasymo, your blog is great. As a matter of fact, I just created one while I was there visiting yours. Never did one of those, so I thought it might be fun to just put everything on there instead of keeping all my pics at Photobucket. I picked up some old books too one time. I love them. Never have used the pages yet, but what fun just thinking of the possibilities that lie ahead! I did do a shoe box for my mom with these old printouts. She loves antiques. So I did that and put craft paints and such in it for her for Christmas. She does sign painting, so it was a perfect box for her paints and brushes and looks "old time" as she puts it. Jan, I like your idea of gluing that cork to the tray. It may stick out from the wall a bit too much, though. Hmmm....I'll have to check that out. But I really like that idea. Thanks! Alicia
