Wow, so much to catch up on this morning.
I wasn't able to play on the computer last night like I was hoping to. Hubby was out of town for the night and my daughter decided it was a good night to show her "I'm a teenager" side. Needless to say, it started out very heated but ended up with a nice mother/daughter trip to the ocean (funny how mother nature and the ocean have a way of easing the tension and soothing the soul). After all that, I was just too tuckered to attempt to log on. I put a couple of rows on my dishcloth (which is now my cigarette *lol*) and fell asleep. FINALLY got my first 8 hour night of sleep since I quit smoking! Feel rested this morning.

Helene, welcome! You are just going to love it here! I found these ladies last October (not quite a year ago) and have called this forum "home" since. I hardly check any of the other forums anymore *lol* Once in a while I do but very rarely. Since finding this forum, my hoya collection is down to 2 *lol* and my gessie collection is up to over 100 I think *lol* I have really fallen hard for gessies but more than that, I have really fallen for the friendships here :) Welcome again :)

Peek a Boo I see you Nancy..........*lol* So nice to see you and Susan finding a minute or two to post :) I know both of you are so busy right now but it's nice to see you as you are missed. Speaking of missing people........Keyring, Raingazer, JanetS, VA_Wild_Rose where are you? You are all missed big time!

When I first signed up and was KimsKreations it was because I always wanted to open a greenhouse and also sell my hand made items (KimsKreations). But now I have been thinking that since that is never going to happen *lol* that KimsKreations could be my name on the hybrid crosses I make *lol* I was thinking names like "KK Dignity" or "KK Reflections" or "KK Astounding" as names for crosses *lol* I think I would shorten it to KK but my friends would always know what the KK stands for :) Kind of like the "Bristol's" line or the "Neil's" line. What do you all think? I have also used the name KimsKountry on some websites as I used to have a fairy website with my garden photographs on it and named that website KimsKountry.

So, here is a new baby for me. I can't take credit for the bloom as it came with it from Lyndon Lyons. This is called Nematanthus Albus (also known as Nematanthus Santa Theresa). I think it is such a pretty Nematanthus. I hope to use it in hybridizing someday :)
