Spring Has Sprung (Updates)

10 years ago

Hi everyone,

Sorry, I haven't been as active here lately. My other passions and gardening projects have been keeping me busy. As a result, I have some pitiful looking plants. Not just Hoyas, either. I lost bella, Pink Silver, nummularoides, wayetti, and both my lacunosas (also my Meyer Lemon Tree as well). RHP and a few others like my Thanksgiving/Christmas cacti look pouty because of my underwatering. Denise, GG, if you're out there, I wouldn't mind a couple cuttings lol.

I've been busy with my community theatre gettting ready for our new season. I don't act, yet, but maybe someday. Cooking, also somewhat related to the theatre, has been going well for me, too. All the Winter Sowing I'm doing this year will be put to good use since I can plant flowers out at the theatre this year.

On a happier note, I do see new growth on the fungii cutting I took last year to give away (it still needs a good home). THe same can be said for my verticillata cuttting.
Another update, but not plant related, is that I'll be 24 in four days (the 27th).

I think that about covers everything. How are you all doing? The robins are back and I see some bulb flowers starting to grow out at the theatre.

Hey Brad,

Now this breaks my heart!! Let a plant die from not watering it? Thats a slow torturous death!!! Ahhhhhh....

Just kidding! Now I have a 2 yr old. If I can water I know you can! Lately i noticed little cuts on some of my leaves. I thought "what is doing that?" later I found my answer. My little one had a pair of scissors cutting away on the leaves!!

I would be happy to send you some cuttings! I have some I was rooting for someone else who seems to have lost interest! And I've got some I can take cuttings on :). It might be a few weeks... As we have a cold front moving in AGAIN!

And only 24..... Boy I wish I could say that! Happy birthday (early). I remember you cake from last year! And you"ll definately need a birthday Hoya!

Ttys!

Thank you, teisa!

This winter was a harsh one, and the heat was on more this year than in the past few years. Most of my Hoyas are doing well. They could use some TLC since I see some mealies on them, too (In the words of Cruella: blast these wretched, wretched pests! lol)

I will have to let you know about the cuttings. It's still cold at night up here. This is the typical March weather with the temps changing daily (cold at the beginning of this coming week, then warming up-thank goodness).

And I'm having another DQ ice cream cake this year, too lol.
