Hoya societies and their publications
Comments (18)Here is a list of hoya books for sale I found in a recent catalog sent to me (most under $10). I purchased them all except for the first one for reasons which need not be explained here. I hope this gives you a better guide to hoya publications out there. Burton, C.M. --- HOYAS I KNOW AND LOVE. A basic introduction on growing and caring for hoyas; watering, potting, repotting, etc. 24 color photos (including b/w line drawings of leaf structure) are included of 24 different types of hoyas. Descriptions of these hoyas are also included. 52 pages. 8-1/2" x 11", 3-ring binder. Forster, Paul (Editor) --- HOYA IN AUSTRALIA. 1986. A first attempt to properly identify and describe the hoyas and dischidias found in Australia today. Includes introduction, distribution/ecology and cultivation of each of the species found, with location maps. Featured are 29 well illustrated full-page b/w line drawings of hoyas, dischidias stems, leaves, flower umbels, side views, etc. Includes a nice cultivation chapter. All semi-technical. 39 pages. 8-1/2" x 11-3/4", staplebound with heavy color cover. Forster, Paul I. & Liddle, David J. --- HOYA IN AUSTRALIAÂAn Alternative Classification. 1990. This is an alternative classification to that of Mr. Hill, of the species of hoya in Australia excluding Hoya australis. Six species are described and illustrated: H. lauterbachii, H. macgillivrayi, H. nicholsoniae, H. psudolittoralis, and H. serpens, along with six full-page b/w drawings of hoyas, and one page of maps. Distribution and habitat of each variety is outlined in detail. 19 pages, 8-1/2" x 11", spiralbound photocopy reprint. Kloppenburg, Dale --- HOYA BASICS . Rev. Edition, 1999. A first in hoya literature! Mr. Kloppenburg has produced a basic beginner's "know how" booklet with all you need to know to understand and grow hoyas. Author takes you through the mechanics of hoyas, how you can keep them healthy + propagation tips shared by experts. And, most importantly: how you can get your hoyas to bloom! Sixteen nice large-sized color photos included. 3 b/w photos, 44 pages, 8-½"x 11", spiralbound, with color cover and clear plastic overlayÂfront and back. Mint condition---never used. SPECIES NAMES. 1992. Gives the correct pronunciation and meaning of thousands of words used when referring to hoyas in so many terms. 78 pages. 8-1/2" x 11", spiralbound. Kloppenburg, Dale --- PHILIPPINE HOYA SPECIES. 1st Ed., 1991. 4 color photos, 350 b/w line drawings. 103 pages. 8-1/2" x 11", wirebound. Kloppenburg, Dale --- THE WORLD OF HOYASÂA Book of Pictures. 1st Ed., 1999. This book illustrates not only the flowers of 102 different hoyas, but a look at the plantsÂtheir leaf and stem structure. Author takes you through the entire spectrum of the history of hoyas, where theyÂre found, historical information, plus full description and culture and care information on all hoyas pictured. For all true hoya lovers, this is a book worth having. 102 pages of color, 260 pages total. 8-1/2" x 11", 3-ring binder w/color front. Rintz, R.E. --- THE PENINSULAR MALAYSIAN SPECIES OF HOYA. 1978.

Comments (5)Vicki-- Glad to hear you enjoyed the paper! It was a work of love just as much as an academic piece. With regards to your spot, you are definitely correct about aiming for a paniculata hydrangea. A very healthy oakleaf that has been given some winter protection would probably be able to grow to 8 feet as well (over several years). From my observations here in Zone 6 Ohio, 'Snow Queen' seems to be the largest growing oakleaf cultivar so you should think about giving her a shot as well. 'Pinky Winky' or 'Quick Fire' would work fine, I'd just go out and find one that you really like in terms of its blooms. 'Pinky Winky' is quite hard to come by unless you are ordering via mail. I see 'Quick Fire' fairly regularly at Lowe's/Home Depot/etc. 'Limelight' is definitely a possibility as well--very common, very beautiful, and should fill that space quite well. There are a lot of beautiful paniculata varieties to choose from! At a big box garden center, 'Limelight' will definitely be the most common. I hope that helps. I also hope that you grow some macrophyllas in your St. Louis garden to bring some of those East Coast "roots" into the Midwest like I have :)...See MoreWanted, list of public domain plants, in/out
Comments (14)Vangy, Regulations vary from state to state about licensing/certification. It's usually not that big of a deal to meet the requirements. Check with your state Department of Agriculture for specific information. But, so far as growing and selling plants with trademarked names, it's not illegal. If someone believes this, they are just plain misinformed. A plant cannot be trademarked. Only the trademarked NAME is protected. The plant can still be sold using its correct genus, species, and cultivar name. There aren't any legal issues as long as the trademarked name isn't used, and a genus, species, or real cultivar name cannot be trademarked. Lastly, there aren't all that many patented plants relatively speaking. The vast majority of plants can be grown and sold without legal issue....See MoreFirst research result ... successful recycling of toilet paper
Comments (32)Apologies offered, folks. I made a grievous error in one of my posts above, repeating a quotation that I'd heard occasionally, of trees being the lungs of the world. But I was dead wrong! Trees MAKE oxygen - lungs EAT it!! As for reusing toilet paper, we can do it sometimes if we choose. Pull off four squares from the roll, fold twice, to make four thicknesses. Use as usual, but don't discard, lay it aside on a prepared location to dry. You'll need some extra space, to accomodate other squares during the drying, perhaps a shallow cardboard tray as found bringing vegetables into many stores. It works best for single person households but several people who agreed could have several named trays. I was a preteen on Dad's rather large farm and after our hired help joined the army in World War II, became familiar with handling manure when cleaning it up from pigs, horses, cows and chickens. Anyone want to make a small wager as to whether this 19 year old retread may get the goat of a certain frequenter of this place? ole joyfuelled...See MoreLynda Waldrep
