hi, i have been lurking (even tho' it's widely used, i dislike that 'lurk' word...kinda creepy)...so i guess i should say "anonymous reader" on the hoya forums for awhile...just joined the hoya cubits forum too. just wanted to introduce myself...was into orchids ( yes...*that* addiction or anyone who is familiar :-). .....had to scale back for several reasons. oddly...not so much the addiction that curtailed me, but that's for another day...since now it's hoyas i am into. my first to bloom was a hoya obscura from Gardino's ( love it) that i bought as a small but healthy starter....now its huge and the best smell!!! thank you for having this forum...I look forward to hearing from all..this is truly a fabulous forum with great and interesting people. I have just become a lazy writer with age.. :-/
