I have it bad!!! First picture is of h. ischnopsis and a BEAUTIFUL h. incrassata I got from Mel - boy, Mel, you sure can grow them!!!
Hoya madness
Next, cuttings I just received from Awanda - hey, Sis A, where was my bread?????? LOL
These are soaking in Super Thrive water and getting some humidity in the bathroom, as I was in Philly, and didn't get the box untl today!! They're gorgeous, Awanda....and THANKS for your generousity with the extra cuttings!!!
And last but certainly not least, my cuttings from David Liddle (along with some from Mel) in my lighted hoya hut, on a heating mat.
So, where is that thread with the steps for hoya addiction recovery......
Karen
Just wonderful! Lol about the addiction recovery.....I think I need that too as I am trying to figure out where all these new ones are going to go in the next couple weeks. There was hardly enough room last year! Awanda.....do you have a website? Not that I need another excuse to get new hoyas....lol....
:) Kim
Wohoo...a treasure trove....all in one week's time?!
You don't need 'recovery' from a 'good addiction'....kinda like breathing, you know?!
Hey Sistah K a couple of those look a little sad, let me know if they don't make it and I'll send you some more along with some bread for you and Sistah B:-). You have a serious hoya jones girl!!
Blessings,
Awanda
How cool, Karen. Them's purdy!! Don't think of it as addiction ... think of it as an inexpensive form of therapy (that's how I justify it - lol). When our loved ones and friends raise their eyebrows to our new acquisitions, simply remind them that it costs $150 a session and approx. $80 per month for pills. See we are actually saving money!! And for those of us in therapy and needing the pills, growing the hoyas simply keeps those costs at a bare minimum ... If we didn't have the hoyas, we would probably need more of the other stuff. Again, it's cheaper to include hoyas in our overall mental health care schema!

Well then my addiction is justified. No pills, no booze, no therapy, now if I can give up these stinky cigarettes I can really just start hauling them in. Great haul Karen.
Kim Awanda website is ACsAgapePlants under mail order vendors, I think she is the first one listed if I am not mistaken. Happy shopping, I plan on getting my winter fixes through her, just what an addict needs, new hoyas with in 12 hours.... :)
Thanks all - I'm feeling MUCH better about my addiction.....nothing like other addicts to make you feel you're ok!!
Awanda - the cuttings spent the day in Super Thrive water - and have perked up nicely. I'll pot them up tomorrow. I'm sure they'll do fine, but thanks for your generous offer! Karen
Karen, I don't know what you're talking about ... I can quite anytime. Hoya is whack ... I don't do hoya ... hoya's whack!!!
Ann
LOL, Ann!!! Can hear Step #11 from Oregon to Illinois!!
