Thanks Mike. I moved those plants there to take pictures. I normally have the Hoya in a south facing window, but don't let direct sun get on it too much. I need to be more careful about not letting it dry out so long. I have a rooting going from it that it doing pretty well. This forum is getting me enthused about acquiring a different variety, so have been trying to find a good resource to find one. I have only fertilized it a couple of times, maybe that is why it never bloomed! Yes, that is one of my Beef Steak Begonia babies. I have a huge plant that I take cuttings from for those.

I agree. I have them. They spread by rhizomes, and mine snuck in with a shovel full of iris. I could try to get seeds or could send bare-root plants. I was thinking of yanking them, since my spot is more dry than they like. Martha

Hi everyone. Trish - Been there and done that! It seems this problem of loading pic's follows me on a couple of different forums. I was able to load pic's on here OK originally and then I couldn't. I gave it a miss for a few days and tried again, but finally I gave up trying to load pic's. It was maybe two months later I thought I'd try again with a few new pic's and it worked. I didn't do anything different in regards to loading, so it maybe the size of the pic's I was trying to load originally were too big. Trish, the programme I use is Microsoft Picture Manager which is part of Microsoft Office and what I do is bring up the picture I want to post, go to the task bar and click on "edit". A pop up screen called "Edit Pictures" will show on the right side of your picture giving you various editing choices. I scroll down to to the bottom where it shows in bold print "Change Picture Size", and I click on "Resize". Another pop up screen will appear called "Resize Settings" and on this there are several options. I go to option three which is an elongated box under the heading of "Predefined width and height" and click on that Within this box will appear six other options; I select option 3 "Web Large" (640 x 480 px) and click OK which will automatically reduce the size of you pic. You could try other options also but this is the one I find that works for me. All the best, Nev

Sorry and thanks all...once I got a positive ID response here I then went to my FB page and deleted the photo, without considering that additional folks here might try to also open up the photo. So that's why you got the error messages. Sorry for the trouble! Anyway, I do know how to upload photos here. I've done it in the past no problem. But lately it simply does not work for me. No error message. No photos uploaded. Just 'nothing'.
