Just finished placing my order and thought maybe some of you would like to know that this site is having a 50% off sale on 5 not so commonly found hoyas. Here is the link http://www.bigislandgrowers.com/members/grower_home_page.php?grower_id=6
Now to figure out how to sneak the pkg. in the door past DH when it arrives, he, he!.
BTW, since I know that curious minds will want to know. I ordered two of the hoyas on sale, H. obtusifoliades, H. australis variagated form and two regular priced ones, H. calycina & H. sariae.
FYI: A hoya sale!
Just tell DH the box is full of special ingredients for cookies...his favorite. Works for me every time!!!
But then.....UGH....I have to bake something! Hard to bake in this heat!
Hmm...I emailed but didn't receive a reply....dang...prolly too late, now!
Susan, I was thinking of you when I posted. I often forget to frequently check some websites and often miss the sales. This time, I happened to be in the mood for browsing and low' and behold, I saw the 50% off. Don't feel bad.... I had them hold my order a couple weeks or so and of course as soon as I got a few bucks in my pocket I went back and ordered some more....I'm doomed!! :)
Carol, I wish I could trick him like that....he's too smart. Although I could tell him you are sending me some fresh coconuts to make him his favorite "good & crunchy cookies", he!he!.
Nan, if you haven't gotten a reply email me and I'll give you their email addy.
YOu know, this edit feature is great! but thought maybe I'll just let my previous post stay and let you guys have a good laugh...go ahead, its ok.
Carol, I just realized I contradicted myself. I just won't tell him how many plants are in the box. I'll let him think its only one ;)
Got it all straightened out, Gemila, thanks so much for offering to help.
OK, so I placed my order....but there were 2 others I *really* *really* wanted.....I'm building character by waiting until later to order them, right?!
Well you guys, I just e-mail them. wish me luck!! I would like all of them to add to my collection. And if i am lucky. my DH will not be home . I have so many he wont even notice I add more. he he :))) keep your finger crossed!! LOL
Well i just got a e-mail back from them and they still have some. so in the morning i will do my order. I am so happy:))))))) we can alwas use more hoyas right!!!! hehe
A "woman cannot be too tan, too thin (not) or have too many hoyas." I forgot who said that..... ;oD
Twiggy LoL Carol is this your business. Nice Web site. Well done. Do you know anything about H. Metallica I can't find any formation, I have the plant. Who introduced it, where was it found. Where did they get the name, or who named it?
A lot of questions but my boss wants to know. Thanks, Norma
Norma - Yes and thanks.
I am starting another thread about H. 'Metallica'.
I also know of a few sales in the lower 48 I was just afraid to mention them on this forum, Dave said it would be okay for me to do so. Put now I must ask permission from the people themsleves. Or you may email me privately.
ME TOO!!!!!
Me Three!!
Well I did it. Orded me some more HOYAS!! Carol has a very nice web site!! Also added another selve in my dinning room window!! Got lots of room now!! hehehe :))))) Mary
Ohhh H. cv. Noelle, does it come with Santa Claus? ------BG-----
When will this Lady stop tempting us poor Hoya collectors?
To whom may be concerned and in a hurry to own one:
I did some detective work and this Hoya cv. Noelle aka H. vitellina x H. vitellinoides, is the same plant that is available for sale on the website. If you click on the link I gave in my first post, then click on Catalog, then scroll down and go to page 11. Once there you go to the fourth plant listed and ''WHALAH!!" you are there. The one in the auction is tempting though but I see a friend is trying to win it ;)
Gemila
Ladies, if I win the bid, I will share....pictures:-)
Blessings,
Awanda aka fast finger clark
Susan, notice she said 'Pictures', so don't get your hopes up too much. LOL!
Awanda, we know you'll give it a loving home. Good luck! ;)
Gemila
I'm happy I got out-bid on this plant, I already have it! Yet another senior moment!!
Blessings,
Awanda
Who is MS N ? I did put a bid on the hoya book on e-bay. did any of you see it? But its not over for 6 more days. $ 35.00. but Hoyas Books are hard to find. I also ordered some from Rainbow Gardens. I hope they are some that will help me. also have some info coming from Christine Burton. :))) Binky
Well Girls , I got my order today!:)))) I am so happy with them. I got H.Aeistralis, H. Purporso-Fusca, H. Arnettiana and H. Vitellina. What wonderful plants. Now if I can just not kill them!! :))) Been trying to read as much as I can. I was told just to go over the past forums and you will learn a lot. Alot of good help there. Thanks for letting us know about the sale. Mary
Binky...when you receive your hoyas fresh out of the box...it's a good idea to keep them in low light for a week or so and gradually introduce them to higher light....
Also, give them a nice shower, hydrating the leaves and wetting them thoroughly...resist repotting if you think they need it for a couple of weeks.
You probably know all of these things already...but there are times I get so excited I forget...
Carol
A BIG Thank-You to both.Carol. you have a e-mail :))
No I didn't know that. I am so glad you told me. Binky :))))))
HUH?
Just a fellow traveller... Don't gurus sit around contemplating their navels..? well...I can't see mine anymore!!!
