Hi Jim, I had been thinking about your PO trip and even asked about it on another thread. I don't believe it. Do you really think it is all over finally? Do you really think that they will all be trained to know the correct rates? If you mail from home, do you really think there won't be envelopes returned to you stamped Additional postage required or something like that? I am normally an optimistic, unless it involves some of the many post offices across the country finally getting it right after all these years. It has ONLY been 2 years and 6 months since they went to the new shape based pricing. Isn't it sad that they have been overcharging unsuspecting customers all this time? Did you get names of the supervisor and those who were in agreement with you? Where were all those workers in the past when you were trying to convince the clerks of the correct charges? This is when the other 5 postal workers got involved. They were behind the counter arguing with each other about my BE and there was about 10 people behind me, in a hurry, wanting to mail their packages. I wish I had a video camera. Wow! That would have made a great youtube video now, wouldn't it? Thanks for the update. You are my hero, and I do so hope this nightmare for you has finally come to an end. Sue

I LOVE lacunosa - yours is VERY pretty and I can see all the other little hoyas in the background! (just wish it wasnt so hard for us Canadians to get them) Thank god for Pike Lake!! He gives really nice little plants - Ive had mine about a year now and is coming along really nicely (mindu mine is just the regular lacunosa) - have to say it is my favorite! And once it flowers - I hope I'll love it even more!

Thank you, everyone! My fall could've been much worse due to I had my umbrella with me and it had a metal point and I landed on my umbrella and it broke. Luckily, there was a bush right where I went over and helped break my fall, but I still had the wind knocked outta me and the aforementioned injuries, but I am alive and well :-). Oh, and to note, these were just outdoor plants, not Hoyas. Part of their deck is covered, and I was moving them to where they could get some rain out in the open. Teisa, I hope you're okay! I would've been rushing, too, if I saw a Nepenthes around here LOL. Brad AKA Moonwolf

I don't have a picture, if I can take one in the next few days I'll update this. It is planted in much more shade than my Annabelle (half day compared to full day sun), so it is hard for me to compare. To my untrained eye it looks no different. The flowers look the same to me. Maybe it needs time to mature.
