I am an offspring of "flower children" my mother jokes how they were going to name my brother and I Moonbeam and Shadow! For my wedding, instead of playing "here comes the bride" we blasted "truckin" by the Dead. My dad loved it! I always promised him I would play that for him. I think he was so shocked I ever got married that he forgot! You should have seen him smile when the music started. BTW, we had a very nontraditinal wedding!!

Confirm ID on two new plants
Judging by all the "hoyaholics" in this forum, I'd say we ALL are "flower children"....when we can get out hoyas to cooperate with us, at least!!!

Beads, sandals, jeans dragging on the ground, long hair parted in the middle and no bra - yup, that was me, too, in the late 60's and early 70's. Now, thanks to the no-bra era, it's not my jeans that are dragging on the ground!!! ex-flower child Karen
Karen... I keep telling myself that the reason my waist has expanded so is because everything else went south! Sound reasoning, isn't it? Oh, and add a headband to that picture, too.. and John Lennon glasses. Good gosh a'mighty but I loved those days. We were going to save the world, weren't we!!! Too bad we had to grow up and become part of the "establishment".
Hoyas... kewl plants, aren't they!! ;)
Barb
Gee, Karen. You sound like a spitting image of me now (at least the you know what dragging on the ground part - lol)!
ROTFLMAO....I have this image of us all standing there in our "60s" garb with our ah.....aging shapes and a hoya pot in hand (instead of the other pot). Singing "Are you going to San Francisco". Ha Ha

OMG...don't let our kids read these posts!!!! They think they invented wierd....look what we did, and where we are now. Is that what makes us almost adults?
I will need address from everyone. I have copied this thread to my documents. I would like to send one out for everyone's children for holiday presents! Lol!!

Bad Heather! Bad! Bad!! Bad!!! My police officer son would never forgive me if he found out I'd been a rebel. I'm so-o-o-o-o prim and proper now. yeah.. right!

A good way I have found to keep up with informations on plants is to use the journal provided by Dave. It is always handy and you don't have to worry about losing your hard drive and the information. I'm a good one to be saying that. I start and get a little done and then end up with notes in my shirt pocket or in the car or just about anywhere in the house. Just chiming in all you flower children can go back to chanting.
Hey have you thought what the world will be like 40-50- years from now with all the grannies having navel rings and tatoos every where.
That is a good idea...thanks for the reminder.
I've never even experimented with my journal....will have to do that.
Lol!!
I actually *have* thought about that...tell my two older kids 'you know what that'll look like when you're older?! You might regret it then'!!
I actually took Jim's advice and started my journal.. because I finally got around to starting my Hoya bubbler experiment!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Barb
LOL, better tell the kids they won't be able to find their navel much less belly rings! I would not trade anything for those Hippie days of the 60's and 70's. My parents thought that was a Revolution. I can't imagine what they would say about todays youth!
Peace.....
Mel.. oh so true!
Oooooooommmmm....
