That wind is wicked in TX, I can't even imagine 70 mph! My poor hoyas don't ever get to go outside (I've seen it snow on the fourth of July here) but they get lots of light from the big windows that face east and most of them are content and bloom, even in the winter!

Central and northern Idaho is a beautiful, beautiful place. And you can find plenty of places that aren't covered with snow 6 months out of the year like it is here where I live. LOL

Lots more to do here than hunt .... The hiking, mountain biking, boating, golfing, skiing, ice skating etc etc can more than keep a family busy while still living life at a more leisurely pace than the city. Listen to me, I sound like a "move to Idaho" advertisement. LOL

I took this picture this afternoon. This is the fourth or fifth set of blooms on my hoya carnosa since December. It's climbing up into the second story windows. The house is really perfumed at night!
