Just Arrived....

Just a quick note to tell you all (brag :~) that a Hoya Angel visited me today! I purchased:

one cutting of cv. ruthie, (she sent 3 that are twice as big as I expected)
one cutting of cv. optimistic, (she sent 3 also huge)
one small pot of H. heuschkeliana (pink) that was way bigger than I expected,(she sent a cutting of the yellow heuschkeliana,too!),
one cutting of H. australis ssp. australis (she sent 6)
and she threw in a beautiful plant of H. pusilla and 2 NICE cuttings of cv. tanna!!

I may be forgetting something but I am so out of my mind with Hoya joy I can't think straight.

Thank you Hoya Angel, some day I can do the same for someone else!

God bless, -joanne

Whoohoo Joanne what a nice haul you received! You are on your way to addiction:-).

Blessings,
Awanda

Those are beautiful, Joanne!!
Something I always do for mailed cuttings is soak them in some cool water with Superthrive - gets 'em all perky!!
Congrats!
Ann

Yea for me! All the credit goes to the person who sent them, but I reap the rewards....

Ann, where would I find Superthrive? I use the Velma's VF-11 and have sprayed them but don't have any Superthrive. -joanne

Awanda, I think I may be past 'on my way' :~) I have an order coming from the pimpette (first time I have used that one!) and one coming from Logee's. Oh I hope they don't come on Saturday when the DH is home..............

-joanne

Joanne I think you mean you use Eleanor's VF-11, that works great too. I use it whenever I don't have any superthrive or even when I do. What did you order from Logee's, I've always been pleased with their plants.

Blessings,
Awanda

Oh, and Joanne...If you ever need to "hide" your plants from your husband, you are always welcome to "store" them at my home (since we're so close and all). I promise I will be very, very good about giving them back ...
LOL!
Ann

Joanne, how funny, I always try to get my husband out of the house when I no I am getting a box of hoya, he is to the point now where he has to sit right there and tell me which one is hes favorite plant/leaf. Yep sounds like your on the road to addiction, STEP # 11 weve did it again hoya addicts... another one bites the dust....

Joanne - Nice score!! I got my Super Thrive at Walmart of all places!

Ms.Kitty you are so funny! but I may have to take you up on that if I'm not careful.... :~)

ELEANOR'S- Duh! Thanks for that Awanda, I am on a hoya high right now.... and the brain isn't up to par...

Kabob, I'm on my way to Fred Meyer's right now and I'll check there but Walmart is just a town away!

Tammy, I'm gone, gone, gone....

I really like and appriciate this group. Thank you all and God bless.-joanne

Joanne,
You know, this group is really a lot of fun because everyone gets so excited for everyone else when they find buds, blooms, or get new plants - and we collectively get sad when something not so good happens to another member (i.e. hurricanes, deaths, plant loss, and bud blasts). I certainly do enjoy everyone here. Plus, there is the added benefit of wonderful experts who don't treat us like we are idiots wasting their precious time.
Ann

A hoya angel! What could be better than that? Nada......

Very nice Joanne! Congrats on your new plants.
Christine

Kewl beans! Looks like you really scored!!! Watch that cv. Ruthie...she is a real, ahem, trollop and grows like crazy and goes off with just anyone who winks at her!!!

Nada, I agree!
Christine, Thanks! Pray they grow and bloom!
Carol, sounds like a fun gal! I will just keep winking at her myself and watch her go!
Thanks all! -joanne

Joanne, congratulations and good luck with your new plants! Sounds exciting!
/Lotta

Christina

They look great Joanne. It's so exciting when you get new cuttings to start growing. Good luck with them.

Sandy

Hi everyone. I am new on this forum, and just joined today. I have been reading so many pages and am looking at people's hoyas. I have a few hoyas, one is my grandma's and some are from Lowe's here in my town. I also got a hoya cutting on ebay. I am looking for more exotic hoyas, and have seen some on this site.

Can anyone tell me where the hoya angel is? Is it the same company that sells the angel plants in Lowes and Home Depot? I did search for the hoya angel, but didn't see the same hoyas that are here on this topic.

Thank you for your help. I was told that the best way to learn is to ask ask ask, so I am.
