Hoya milestones
In RPGs your character accumulates so many points and you level up, and I think of life in those terms a lot. Here are the milestones that I have noticed in growing Hoyas so far:
Milestone 1: You have blooms!
In front of your face, on your own plant, that you grow with your own hands, there are honest to gosh real flowers.
Milestone 2: You have rare blooms!
You actually have pictures to post of a plant that everyone-and-their-mother hasn't already seen. Yeah, sure, maybe the hardcore people have been blooming it for years, but it's not carnosa or publicalyx or lacunosa so pour me a beer!
Milestone 3: You have sneaky blooms!
Something smells nice and you don't know where it's coming from! (Is it you?) At this point you are so cool that you don't even know how cool you are. Your plants are just blooming behind your back... all casual-like.
Milestone 4: There are always buds.
You dreamed of a day when "something would always be blooming" but you didn't believe it would really come. But it did, just a handful of years after you collected your first Hoya. Now buds are just like leaves to you. Okay maybe you're not that blase... yet...
Milestone 5: It's a big one.
Yep, the day has come. You are now in the elite club of people who have bloomed big blooms. Bigger than a speeding bullet! Bigger than a locomotive! Able to outgrow tall buildings at a single bound! Look! Up in the sky, it's... archboldiana/onychoides/imperialis/megalaster/etc...
So, what are your milestones?
