Mike I have this plant, I should be able to send you a cutting in the spring if you like. I bought mine from epiphytica.com, it was the only place I found it for sale

Dee, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciative your kindness. I will hold off till then, save this thread, and remind you unless you remember. Man, spring can't come fast enough. It's been feeling like winter way too long and we still have months of it to go. Very depressing and something for me to look forward too))

If you can message me I can give you my address and such, even maybe send you something...

Mike

Hey Mike sent you message.

Hi Dee, did you ever get my message I sent you? Both here and in your e-mail? Thank you)))

this is what i'm hoping to get one day.

Dee, no worries! No better here with sickness and things.. I hope you had a nice time together or at least being together, although short. It's sad what happened there. You wouldn't happen to have a pictures of what's going on there would you? Any updates? I can't believe you were affected from that hurricane. I am so sorry about that. Is there anything I can do or anyone else? Anything I can send you to help you in the progress of getting you and your husband back on your feet? Prayers are a definite.

Take you time. E-mail in the meantime and please keep in touch, ok?

Mike

Dee, is there any way you could get in contact with me? Thank you and I hope all is well

Hey Mike, shoot me a message so we can catch up! I may have to see if we can work out a trade. I don't have a black leaved krohiana, but maybe we can work something out ;).

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Dee, are you still around? I was hoping you would get back to me so I would not have to order this plant if I can find it((. Please e-mail or get back to me. Thank you. Hope all is well.

Hey Brad...What's up!!? so glad to see you. It is really this one that I want, I love the black leaves, even if it does not flower. I wa shoping Dee would see this. I hope you have been well. What ones are you talking about? Do you have any with almost black growth or anything that stays small but packs a punch? I would love that. NO room for any large ones anymore. I just gave one away... Get back to me. Good to hear from you..

Mike

Hi Mike, I am doing okay. We lost my grandmother (my mother's mother) back in Feb., and it's been a hard time on my mum, and I had been expecting it for a while. Had to clean out her apartment (just mum and I). We have some things to figure out yet, but we'll get there. In the meantime, I got the lead male role in the opening play at the theatre. Been spending time on my friend's farm lately (mostly on the weekends). I am doing okay otherwise (just trying to take care of myself in all aspects). I don't have anything with dark growth that's almost black. The only plant I have that stays small but it looks good is my String of Hearts, and even that's been a slow grower for me. Just took cuttings from the long vines to see if it'll grow some more for me.

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Hey Brad, I am so sorry to hear about your Grandma(((. That really stinks. That has to be the worst thing cleaning out what belongs to one that has passed. I dread the thought of having to do that if anything should happen to one of my parents. My grand parents passed years ago. It's too bad so many of us don't get to enoy them as we grow older. Ugh. I am happy you are back at the farm)) You must be pretty happy about that. I am happy for you.

You are very kind to offer. It's the black leaves I really want. I guess I will check out E-bay. Dee said she would hook me up but I am still waiting on her. Thank you so much though))

Keep in touch my friend. Sorry for the delay here. Been so crazy busy and nor feeling well. BUt much better ))

It's rough and I don't wish it on anybody. My mother is having a hard time with all of it. I am happy to be going to the farm and being so involved with the theatre again, theatrically/acting-wise. I belong on a stage :). It's my home away from home.

No worries. We all have to take care of ourselves, and some are better at it than others. But I try to. Hoping sleep finds me tonight and that I can stay asleep longer than 5 hours tonight. Oy vey lol. Glad you're much better! :)

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Brad, I hear you my friend. I'm glad you have a place to escape and plants to make peace of the mind))

Hope you slept longer than 5 hours last night)

By the way, how are your plants doing? Do you have small growing Hoya plants that flower very fragrant? Any in bloom yet? I am looking for small growing ones like Lacanosa or anything that has a very strong fragrance easy to grow and that flowers profusely. Not even sure if they exist..

I'd ;love to see a pic or two of some of your favorite ones.

MIke

It's not perfect, but it helps in a lot of ways. One month until opening night of the play.

I slept 6 hours or so last night. Woke up early and then fell back asleep and woke up later in the morning. I take magnesium and tumeric curcumin at night to help sleep.

Plants are doing great. Nothing blooming yet, and no, sadly, nothing of that sort in my collection. I'm hunting for lacunosas myself. Lacunosa fits that description, as does bella and heushkeliana, I believe. Mathilde, too (although not sure on fragrance). Maybe Minibelle as an option, too. I'd like to get bella again at some point.

Favorites as in favorite Hoyas, favorite plants, or favorite plants that stay small?

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Brad, hello..

Hey, do you know who Dee is? If she is even ok? It's been a while since I have even seen her post.

Does that combo really help to sleep? I hear Tumeric was good for inflamation and things like that. Interesting)

Glad you are ok. Hey, do you have any latest pictures of any of your most favorite Hoya plants> I might send you a few cuttings this summer.

Favorite, as in Hoya plants that stay small, compacted, smell heavenly and are easy to grow. Is there even such a thing? Ha

Happy Sunday by the way

Mike

Mike, one of these just popped up on Facebook Hoya temptation group for sale

Klromers, thank you! Since my Aunt has a serious disease and has always wanted one of these I really appreciate you looking after me. Thank you

I’m so sorry to hear that but I am so glad you are looking out for and supporting your aunt on her tough journey. I hope you are able to get one, keep us posted. Katie

I've seen Dee around, but have never chatted with her personally.

The magnesium definitely helps with sleeping, and tumeric is better taken at night.

I don't have any that fit that description, otherwise I would lol. My ilagiorum is a slow grower for some reason, but she's finally putting on some new growth. I posted my wish list on here, so you can browse and see if you have anything I am looking for. My australis "Lizard Isle" is a small grower, but sadly, it's too small to spare a cutting from. You might want to look into getting a Hoya lacunosa or a variety of it. I'm hunting for it, myself.

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Brad, I FOUND one and I will actually share it with Dee. I heard from her and she is ok. Lost hers but I am gladly going to hook her up once again. Hope you are still sleeping ok these days! YOu need a cat that will snuggle up against you and purr you to sleep. Lol. I do and it works.

Hope all is well at the farm buddy and in your life these days. I am still waiting for t-shirt weather. I am tired of this cold and cold rain. We had 28 days of no sunshine in April and we are off to a rough start this month. Very strange for here((9

Mike

I love cats! Lol my best friend has 5 of them, and the one is quite a cuddle bug (Cleo). I am sleeping okay. Up early again. Blah. I'd get a pet, but mum and dad aren't pet people lol.

All is well on the farm. Was over there both Saturday and Sunday. It's been rainy and cold for most of the spring so far. Yesterday was gorgeous! Looks like today will be, too. Glad you found one!

Brad AKA Moonwolf

I scanned through this thread and was wondering if anyone was able to get ahold of Dee and get a cutting from her? I would like to have one as well!

Morgan, I did get a hold of her and she has been through quite an oredeal. She is coming a long and I am sad to say I was not able to. She lost this plant, so the search is over here but I did manage to find one from someone that stepped up to the plate and told me to keep it quiet. I am so excited and my plan is to make some avialable once it gets big enough. They can be quite expensive and are rare to find(

Brad, LOL, that is way too funny. I thought I had enough with one, but I'm considering another I love them, especially when they cuddly up next to you while sleeping when no one else will.lol

Glad you have been doing well these days and that the farm is working out, you know what I mean. I am very happy for you. You deserve good in your life.

Thanks Mike. I'm sorry to hear about Dee's difficulties. If you can keep me in mind, I'd love to get some clippings from you when your plant is ready. Glad you were able to get our hands on one!

For anyone looking for it too, there is a new listing on Esty:

Vikii. What to you mean if anyone wanted ? You mean are you willing to share a cutting ? Please let me know. Thank you
