Wow Karen your hoyas look beautiful! I'd love to have a "small" greenhouse like yours, as for your purchase, it's very pretty.
Congratulations of both!!!

That's so adorable Karen; I wonder if it was a doll house that got renovated ... lol.

Oh Karen: What a great find! I LOVE Edwardian Cases! That's a great display case and I know the hoyas will love it!

Aaaaah ... That room in the background is really AWESOME! I think I remember seeing photo's you posted a year or so ago, of that wonderful room! Perfect plant space!

Thanks for your nice comments - the little greenhouse is fun! Here's a few pics of that room - I "negotiated" a sunroom by enticing (some may say manipulating....) DH by suggesting he get a pool table for the room. Whatever, it worked! And I love it....

Karen, what a beautiful room, filled with your plants. I only wish I had a room of windows like that. I love your little box greenhouse. I think they used to call them cold frames.
I also noticed the mini greenhouse in your last pic. I could use something like that. May I ask where you got that one from? It would fit perfectly.

Wow Karen; that room is truly a hoya lover's dream. You've done a beautiful job of displaying the plants and they all look so happy!

Thanks, all, for your very nice comments! Imadigger, I got the minigreenhouse at Menards a couple of years ago. It is wonderful for rooting plants! I added the grow lights to each shelf to help with the lack of good sun in winter here in Illinois.

Karen, what are the framed photos/prints of that are on the dish rail?

Macon, IL(Zone 5b)

Mark - they are photos I took in Hawaii of orchids, gingers, plumerias, helios, etc. If I can't live there......

Shepherdstown, WV

Wow......how often do you have to check the hoyas of the shelf above the doors? That is such a beautiful setup!

Kelly

Kelly - i check them every two weeks - sooner in the summer. I have a ladder that I use to get up there....thanks for your nice comments!


Karen

I just did a "head count", and I think you have at least as many plants in that one very big room as I have in my whole house. Simply amazing, and very, very inspiring Karen.
