Beautiful! Tonight is the first night mine will spend outdoors! They will come back in on Wed., before the weather goes sour again.

Oh to have that window and porch space!It looks great! My plants will be going outside in a few weeks. It was in the upper 80's today, so some time was spent outdoors. Consolidated all of my pubicalyx "Red Buttons" vines into one pot since I had two plants and the larger one only had two good looking vines. Found the best small pots today at Dollar Tree (4 in a pack). Those will serve me well in starting cuttings for friends :).

Kim, are your carnivorous plants in your photos? I was looking closely, but I couldn't tell some of them. I do see both yours and aurora's multifloras flowering, though ;).

This is the temporary porch. It only gets late afternoon sun. They will go on the big, covered porch (gets all day, filtered sun) when they are fully hardened off.

Brad, have you thought of maybe building your own greenhouse? You can make a relatively cheap one out of clear plastic and pvc pipe.

Yeah...my javanica was bigger, as was my multiflora, but after awhile, they just start growing ugly, so I chop them back and re-start.

Aurora, I have thought about it, but not using the clear plastic sheeting. I have seen other materials used (corrugated plastic panels and tin roofing for the sides and so on). Time to start saving up! We have this little wooden porch where I put out my Hoyas and other house plants each summer, and I was thinking that would be the base for my greenhouse someday. It's right next to our house, though, and only gets western/southwestern sunlight. Not sure how well it would work.

Aurora, I have wondered for a long time what all your Hoya must look like together... though I suspect that isnt all of them, is it? Looks beautiful, I am still debating putting mine out. I do not have the greatest lighting, either filtered morning, covered on my screen porch, or melt your face full on Western exposure. My screen porch isnt very big, might be able to make it work. If only I had a fence!

Brad, my carnivorous plants are on there, hard to see. Top shelf, above the trellised Hoyas. Here are a few, ok well most of them. I also have a Utricularia sandersonii, and a pot of random hitchiking sundew seedlings. I will try to take a picture of them in the morning before work.

Nice, very nice. What kind of spacers do uou use? Good idea there. Also, which mitrata do you own? Heheheh, I have a list if things I might like to order from epiphytica, that big leaved mitrata is calling to me.

I am only just getting syarted on the CP's Brad, my collection of them is hardly impressive. The weird empty looking pot has random sundew seedlings (probably more D. capensis)

The tall sundew is Drosera capensis, and will be flowering soon.

My plan is to harvest and grow seedlings, and trade them around. The bowl contains my Utricularia sandersonii, a lovely little plant that will take over that space fairly quickly with little angry bunny flowers.

Then front row, Drosera aliciae and Nepenthes sanguinea. I must be doing something right, getting flowers, new growth, and my Nepenthes is making a pitcher for me. I was going to post more photos, some nicer close ups, but my conncection isnt good tbis morning.

They look very happy :D. I haven't grown D. aliciae, Utricularia or Nepenthes yet, but the Cape Sundew and I are old friends. Yours is gorgeous and huge! How I long to grow a Nepenthes. Sanguinea is one of the easier ones, if I remember correctly. Spathulata and ventricosa are the ones I'm eyeing.

Brad AKA Moonwolf

My first time growing them, so I was very careful to pick easy species. That Cape sundew of mine has almost doubled in size since I got it a month ago. Easy plant!

Oh, and Aurora, could you show us pics of your 5 dearest?

Cape Sundews are a piece of cake to grow and great to have around if one has a fungus gnat issue. It is to carnivorous plants as what carnosa is to Hoya plants :).

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Yeah, no more fungus gnats in this house. Might need to get a few more for canning season.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a source of Hoya cuttings that are reasonably

priced.

Oh yes.... contact Denise and Jan from here on the boards, they are both great.

Aurorawa has a great selection of rare Hoya that she often sells on ebay, her user name there is agardentoremember.

And there is also ricinfl, another ebay user who sells cuttings.

Thank you Kim for answering my question. I'm new to this forum and not sure

how to get in touch with Denise and Jan.
