Hi All,
Sorry to have been MIA for so long. I have been spending every spare minute working to get the pool and garden ready for the season. Unfortunately, each time Paul and I complete a project, a new problems develops. Alas, I finally have time to smell the Hoyas!
I have missed you guys! Cheers to all!!!
Mel
You just gotta love this leaf!
WOW, Mel... that first pic floored me. How gorgeous that is! You have an incredible "green thumb".
Barb
watch out, Mel!! I will be returning to Raleigh from Cooksville via I-40 in the next day or two. I may just have to take a stop by....with a pair of scissors!
Thanks Barb. You are a sweetheart!
Hey gaiadisciple, I am no more than 5 minutes from I-40! Seriously, stop by if you want! D-mail me if you want to come with your scissors. I'll gladly share!
Have you ever stopped at Phillips Shoe Store in Monteray? If you like cheep name brand shoes and bags and a town that could be Mayberry, NC, you can't go to Cookville without a visit to Phillips.

Is the 2nd pic vitellinoides? I am trying to grow that one myself but have had some problems, it is doing ok though.
Sure is, BH. I re-rooted that plant several times before it conformed to my growing habits. Just about every time I start having problems with my plants, the root system is rotting.
(Waving~~~) Hi Mel!
Nice to see you back - stick around! (Ü)
Hey Sis awesome hoyas girl, hang around this time....ok????
Blessings,
Awanda
Mel, I have been thinking about you!!! Every time I water one of my "foster hoya children" who moved from TN to MT last summer.........Glad things are going well, your hoyas look awesome!
Welcome back, would love to see more pictures!
Hugs,
Sara
Thanks for your kindness, ladies! You'all just made my day!
Hi Mel,
Welcome back, and pull up a seat and stay a while. Beautiful hoya you have.
Patti
Hi Mel! I remember seeing pictures of your backyard last year - it was gorgeous! So, can't blame you for wanting to continue to work on it - but glad you're back! And beautiful hoyas!!
Karen
Welcome back Mel, I was also MIA with a big move and all. We'll have to trade again .
Ric
Hi Mel; and the rest of you folks. I've also been missing in action (extremely busy). Gorgeous plant Mel, however all interested in buying this particular plant will have better luck getting the identical plant if they ask for H. meredithii Green.

Waving hi Annie and welcome back.
Thanks for the identication of Mel's plant. I am adding it to my must have list.
Patti
Waving back at ya!
Susan, I think we will have to get a petition to put broadband in Bucksnort before we will see Lesli around. She had a freeze in her greenhouse last winter, which we all know is devistating.
Ric my man! Great to see you! Anytime you want to trade, I am up for it. I am sure it must have been hard to leave your beautiful garden behind. I'll look forward to pictures of your new creation. If you need replacements for your Hoya collection, just say the word and I will gladly help!
Great to see you Karyn and Patti.
Great point, Annie. Great to see you!!
Mel
And a big howdy from me too. I'm glad the major yard work is just about completed, and you found a little time to chat. Ya always have to get the pool functioning first !!! The H. bella is just beautiful. Nice to have you around again.
