Last Tuesday, Ted and Dorothy Green flew down to 'my island' to visit. Ted is well known among all the nurserymen here, respected and admired. The fact that he would come to visit us was indeed an honor. He said he wanted to see " your weeds".

They spent the day...and Ted and I had a chance to talk 'hoyas' ad nauseum...it was fun. OH, the stories he tells....the gossip, the intrigue of former societies, collecting trips. He has a wonderful sense of humor!!! His wife, Dorothy, is LOVELY...and they are both good company. Just wanted to share this experience with you all.... It made my week IN SPADES. We (get this) 'traded hoyas'. No my head still fits thru the door in the greenhouse!!!

That's Ted (84 and he can out walk, out hike and out story-tell me in spades), me behind the tree and Dorothy on the right. Sorry the photo is so bright.
