I started garden web probably 15 years ago. (had to change my name recently from laura1) Back then it was so hard to find hoyas anywhere. There was no ebay. My sister found hoyas at Glasshouse works. There was a lot of trading because there just weren't many other options.

I kind of stay out of the loop and I may stay off the forum for months (years?). There are now so many varieties and cultivars available now it blows my mind. I guess we are luck or blessed now but it used to be simpler. I don't know where to start when looking for new plants (making a decision).

You all have such beautiful plants and lovely set ups and a love for growing hoyas. The interest in hoyas seems to have exploded or so it seems.

Thank you all for the eye candy, have a blessed Christmas and keep those pictures coming.
