Which Hoyas did you get from Rob, Snow? I still can't believe he sent you any such mess as that. Are you going to call him? I hope you'll post on the Watchdog, too.

Lin sent me a start of DS-70 in the spring. It's had a rough summer outside in the blazing heat, and something (cat, dog, squirrel??) knocked it and a couple others out of their pots THREE times. I kept moving them to a different "safe" place, but they kept getting them. Next year I'm going to figure a way to hang up every single houseplant I have outside. Here's a picture of it. You can just barely see a few new red leaves on the vines in the back.

I'd love to trade with you, Snow! You're more than welcome to cuttings of the var Aeschy. and I'll keep an eye out at Lowe's to see if they get in another one. If so, I'll snatch it up for you. The middle of October should be fine for me. I don't know what your weather is like then, but we can watch for a warm week, and I can insulate your package well, so I think it would be alright.

Those H. kerrii from Jodie are beautiful! That's what purchased plants should look like! I love those heart-shaped leaves. blue_eyes sent me a cutting of H. kerrii that has the variegation on the edges. I am falling so hard for Hoyas! LOL

I sure hope you have fun at that convention...just don't get sick right before it! :oP Wish I could come up there and go with you! :o)
