Hi everyone! I know... I haven't been around much of late. Long story, I'll fill it in later. I pop in to see what's going on now and then. Hope you've all been well and are drowning in flowers! LOL!

Can anyone tell me (or direct me to information...) about Christine Burton? I know all about PS The Hoyan and have read it for years, but I'm looking for a bio, more or less... I joined the Des Moines cactus club a year or so ago (I've been a member of our local club here in Omaha, River City C&S Society, for years...) and it just so happens that the CSSA historian is also a member of the Des Moines club and he's asking me these questions. Hoyas, of course, are considered semi-succulents (I call them "honorary succulents"), so he'd like to record some historical information about the authorities in the genus. All I really know is that Christine passed away in recent years and she was around 90 years old.

He's also asking me about Peter Tsang, who I really know nothing about except his name. If anyone can fill in some blanks or point me in a direction, I'd really appreciate it. You can email me at grngirl58@gmail.com
