Well Ladies .... I'm home. I went to Lowes as well as Home Depot. Lowes had one small variegated one, that's it. They had a lot of the EA hanging basket plants but everything here is ferns, ivy (lots of ivy!) and a few heart leaf philo's! That's it! Lowes plants looked healthy so I'm assuming they haven't been in store long. As for the plants at HD ... ick ... I would not buy them ... very dry and most looked half dead! What makes me so mad too is that the 8" EA hanging baskets at Lowes are $14.97, at HD $11.97 and at Wal-Mart $9.97!! Shows how they mark stuff up doesn't it?

Well, I am sure disappointed that I found no Hoya's, especially the Lacunosa ... I would love to have more of that one! Hope Amy and other's are luckier at finding them in their areas!

Here's one of my favorite Hoya's that I got from Nan in my very first trade here on DG, but I don't remember the name. I need to send her a photo to see if she can ID it for me! It hasn't bloomed yet
