Thanks for viewing. Xuan |

| Wonderful photos Xuan. The fourth photo is my favorite because it shows so well how Hoyas bloom in nature. Mike |

| I first looked at this post last night when I was trying to fall asleep and it nearly made me jump straight up in the bed. Those are such neat photographs! I am spellbound! Would you be willing to take a picture from a distance so we could see the path the Hoyas took to climb up there? |
|
| Wow...those are really nice Xuan...beautiful pictures! Very cool! |

| Those are excellent pictures Xuan. I'd love to live someplace where it never freezes so I could let my hoyas grow naturally out in the trees!! david |
|
| Greedyghost: this is the best I can do to give you some ideas of how my plants climb. I planted in them in pots and hung the pots under a tree in the garden. The vines started climbing up from the pots.
... onto the tree
... and outward on a branch. You can see a few peduncles there.
Enjoy. Xuan |

| How wonderful! I'd so rather have hoyas taking over my trees than the poison ivy and poison oak we have around here! Great pictures! |

| Thanks, Xuan! I really enjoyed seeing the whole ascension! I was trying to figure out whether your Hoyas had climbed right off your deck into low-hanging branches. :P I wish I lived somewhere I could let the Hoyas loose in the trees, too! But for now I'll just have to live vicariously through you. |

| You're very welcome, Greedyghost. I have other hoyas climbing up onto the pergola on my deck/patio, too. They're carnosa, Kerrii green, and Meliflua. When they bloom I will take photos to show off. Thanks for you interest in my plants. Xuan (s-w-a-n) |

| lol! I knew it! I can't wait to see, Xuan. ^_^ I just love your photographs on so many different levels. (I had a Viet friend pronounce your name for me, otherwise I'd never have gotten it right x_x) |
|
| Greedyghosh: no problem :-) Many American friends mis-pronounced my name at first; they took the "X" as "H" in Spanish while actually it is like the "X" in X-ray in English! :-) Xuan |
