Do any of us live near Buffalo, NY? There is going to be a new Epiphyte House with lots of Hoyas there...anybody close?
Could you send me a private email and let me know? I am sending them a huge shipment to grow out!
Does anyone have Kloppenburgs World of Hoya on CD? No, it is not for me...it is for the Gardens.
Toodles,
Carol
PS. It just occured to me that some may wonder? Let me explain: I think the best learning tool about hoyas is Kloppenbergs book AND Chris Burton's Critique of the book. Looking up the hoya, then referring to the page number in Burton's critique gives you, often, a more complete and probably more accurate information. These are different 'camps', as it were, and comparing their information is very useful. I have The Critique which I can send them...but would like the "body" being criticized!!

Questions
Carol...not exactly related to your questions, but...can you tell me where to obtain Ms. Burton's critique of DK's book?
Thanks.
Hi Nan -
Here is her addy Christine M. Burton
P. O. Box 80156
Conyers, GA 30013-8156
USA
And her email is TheHoyan@bellsouth.net (I think).

It is my understanding that the World of Hoyas has been revised so if one gets the new book, the CD won't match the critique.
Nan, I have a copy of the CD critique around here SOMEWHERE! (The somewhere is the problem) I printed the CD off and use that for reference. If I can locate it, will be happy to burn a copy for you. I am not sure that it will be of as much use with the new book tho.
I am hopeful Chris will publish her book in the near future. It will be an awesome reference and a beautiful book.
Even tho' the page numbers won't match, the names of the hoyas are in Alphbetical Order so it would be easy to match up the names. There IS good information in her critique once you get past the personal remarks and attacks. I use it to verify if RDK has said is true or not...
