Well you have been a busy Blogger! Way to go! It looks great!

You have beautiful Hoyas and I am envious of all those blooms! (and windows)

The arched plantstand that you like was purchased at Canadian tire, just a few months ago, for $10.00. Might go and get another one....

I use one growlight to lenghten my days a bit, for my Hoyas, but it's generally pretty bright and sunny in the winter.

Leon looks like a great cat. I'll have to post a picture of my Fat Cat soon. I get too caught up in plants that I forget about my other baby.

Think we should keep in touch and maybe do some trading in the spring;-)
Seems we don't grow all the same varieties of Hoya and I don't know about you, but I'm always craving more! Can we have too many?

Thanks Diane, yes i noticed we have many of the same hoyas...yes i have been lucky to have some finally bloom this year....Yeah the windows are great but the rain isnt so great in the winter which makes it pretty dark here some days...so i have 2 light stands, one doubled and one single....it sure helps especially with the stapelias and succulents....

the arched plantstand looks great and good price at Canadian Tire, thats for sure....sometimes, they have some neat things there...

Yeah you should post a pic of your other baby, your cat!....Leon is a busy boy, he keeps me busy but he stays out of my plants which is a good thing!....

Yes, lets keep in touch and maybe do a trade in the spring, sounds like a good idea to me....I could stand to see more hoyas i think!...they are too addictive..

Thats a very clean and nice Lacunosa bloom Sandy, on other photo's I've seen so far the flowers seem more fluffy. I found out recently that lacunose means "sunken" or "cupped" referring to the effect on the leaves by the raised veins. Good shot.

Yeah you are right.... on a second glance, I do have mostly the same Hoyas as you but maybe there will be new ones in my collection by then;-)

Kitty photos will be coming soon!
