Hi, My name is Joanne and I am new to this web page. I joined because of my new addiction to Hoyas. My previous plant addiction was to Epiphyllum. I had hundreds but lost most of them to a fierce winter freeze and I just don't have the heart to restart a new collection. With the Hoya, I can keep them in the house instead of the greenhouse which expands my enjoyment and my family is not complaining, "are you still in the greenhouse?" :~)

I have enjoyed this site very much so far but I have a few questions........... what is a DH?
What does ROTFLMBO stand for?
Pimpette? I highly advise you not to look that one up on google unless you like smut. ( I think I finaly figured out that it's Carol from Aloha Hoya, right?)

May be ya' all should put out a "how to" guide! LOL!

It's been great fun checking out what you all have to say but it's time I got in the game and quit lurking! I am attaching a picture of my latest bloom, H. Publicalyx "Royal Hawaiian Purple" or sometimes known as 'chimera'. First bloom for me on this plant so I was WAY excited. I still have H. Publicalyx 'Reva' to open, may be this week. I have not seen a bloom on this one so it will be a total surprise. YEA!

Thanks for listening to me rattle on. - God bless, -joanne
