I love reading these types of posts, it is really cool to see what everyone is growing or fighting...lol 1. What is your current favorite houseplant? Always & forever, my hoya's, any of them, even the ones without the flowers, though I have three that just flowered, and another in the process. 2. What is your least favorite houseplant? Why? I have a couple sanseveria, snake plants, and I really just don't like them. I just don't see the appeal. I have one (the hahnii **sp.) in a four inch pot that I tried to kill over the winter by not watering at all, and to my surprise, it is still alive, and has a new healthy pup. 3. What plant are you thinking of burning? A couple of mini roses......they are just too picky for inside the house, and since I am not much of an outdoor gardener, I wouldn't mind throwing them into the fire.....lol 4. What plant is number one on your wish list? Why? I have quite a few plants, mostly hoya's and gessie's on my wish list. Hoya's would be my number one plant on my wish list though. 5. What plant can't you get enough of? Why? Mine would have to be hoya's. I just took part in my first D. Liddle order, and my first hoya round robin (hoya swap), and I still want more. I won't be satisfied until I have them all. My whole life goal.....lol.....is to own every species of hoya. Whether or not they have flowers, these are my number one favorite plant!! Everyone should have one. tracy www.damnplants.blogspot.com Here is a link that might be useful: My plant blog

ha ha Jan I just emailed you about Krimson Queen!!! lol Do you guys want me to do any trade transporting? I am meeting Jan at lunch Thursday and also going to Ricky's so i can take Helen,s. Here's my lil Krimson Queen! The pink edges don't come thru in the photos. Either of you want some of this one. I am sure it's pretty common. It seems so much happier out under the pool screen than in my bedroom window. I got this 1/3 this size a couple yrs ago from Lindaleaf. BTW Helen, You want some cuttings of that coral crown behind the Krimson Queen? It's getting kind of tall and I might as well start a few cuttings of it for Ricky's.

Kate, I know nothing about Hoyas except they are a new addiction lol. Anyway, I've got mine in a hanging pot from the flat roof where I was convinced they were frying up from way too much afternoon sun (one of these days I was going to find a better place for them) and today I went out to hit them with the hose a bit...and after (unsuccessfully) trying to knock off what I thought were spider webs, I realized they were flowers! My mini-wax leaf was covered in these tiny white & yellow blooms. About 20 of them. I was so excited I picked off 3 to take into the house and just put them on the counter. Let me tell you...the fragrance is unbelieveable, way better than any air freshner. My whole family room and kitchen smells wonderful! Now I see what I've been missing! Hope yours blooms soon!!!

Fantastic hoyas! I'm afraid I've been bitten by that hoya bug. I bought a few at a Washington Oaks sale about a month ago and the lacunosa is blooming now. I can't get over the amount of flower buds that have formed over the past two weeks. And the scent is incredible! Yep, I'm hooked. I also have h. compacta and these two that I don't know their names. I'm sure you can help me with that, Jan! Felix, I didn't know that hoya means jewel! Thanks for that little tidbit! Your mother's place sounds like it was very beautiful. I have the four of my "jewels" on the screened porch. They get a bit of late afternoon sun. ~Betsy
