3107. Marc-Albert - 5/28/2005 11:16:36 AM  Its easy to find pictures of hoya carnosa, hoya bella, etc, on the web, but they all concentrate on the spectacular flowers. Here's one on a flowerless hoya that looked like mine.
3108. PelleNilsson - 5/28/2005 11:20:33 AM Yes, it is a clivia and a hoya. I had to look up hoya. We call them 'porcelain flowers'. Both plants are quite old, 40 years or so. 3109. Marc-Albert - 5/28/2005 11:26:43 AM I refused to call my hoya fleur de porcelaine as it never displayed a single flowerlet in its 10-year existence.
Another common name is wax plant. That, I could have used. 3111. PelleNilsson - 5/28/2005 3:56:37 PM Ours used to bloom profusely but the last few years it has been declining. It is probably dying, but slowly.
 3112. PelleNilsson - 5/28/2005 3:58:38 PM The missing #3110 is Mago's. She probably hit the wrong button. 3113. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:41:19 PM Finally, after far too long, we in the northeast are getting may weather. We've had the 3rd coldest may on record this year. So this a.m. I went out to weed the rock garden and thought I'd share some of the stuff in bloom.
Here's a shot of my rooadside rock garden...the ajuga (lavender spears) doing nicely this year. Hubby staked the scotch broom as it was falling over. Looks happier that way.
 3114. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:43:04 PM Closer shot of the scotch broom. It has a strange yet interesting scent...and it kind of reminds me of scrambled eggs for some reason.
 3115. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:44:09 PM Lily of the valley is still blooming. Just one example of how late the season is this year in our area.
 3116. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:46:16 PM Not sure what this is called...i think some call it 'snow on the mountain' though my dad used to grow a 'snow on the mountain' that was quite different with variegated leaves. This one has silvery fuzzy stems and petals of a similar feel to dusty miller. The yellow in the background is the green & gold euonymous.
 3117. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:47:30 PM Irises are just starting to pop now.
 3118. thoughtful - 5/28/2005 4:49:25 PM In front of our house, the azaleas are in full bloom

 3119. judithathome - 5/28/2005 8:11:25 PM My hypericam coris bushes are in full and hardy bloom...looks like a blanket of yellow flowers. Sadly, I don't have a digital camera. The bushes are 50 years old and Keoni cuts them back every year, giving me heart failure for fear they will die off. But they come back, healthier than ever. 3120. judithathome - 5/28/2005 8:12:00 PM Great pictures, Pelle and Thoughtful! 3121. Marc-Albert - 5/29/2005 12:38:58 AM It is probably dying, but slowly.
Aren't we all. I'm sure your gigantic hoya has had a happy, sheltered life, Pelle.

3125. Magoseph - 5/29/2005 4:33:20 PM I just read the recipe-seems easy to make, even for me. 3126. thoughtful - 5/29/2005 5:19:22 PM I love rachel ray because her food is quick, easy and very tasty, and reasonably healthy. I started cooking by around 6:15 last night and had dinner on the table before 7...and that was with a recipe i never tried and post-vino! 3127. ronski - 6/6/2005 5:12:44 AM Happy hanging basket, with petunias, on our deck:
