I do not, because I have no place for it.

I do love how frost coats and trims the leaves of the plants. especially when the sun shines on it and it sparkles. You have a lot more color that I do. We had over a week of below freezing temp's and everything is brown now. As much as I dislike the snow it's far better than seeing all the dead foliage. I'm anxious for spring, as usual. <br />I used to have a Hoya but it got so big I gave it to my daughter who has a larger house. <br />Thanks again.Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484592294033354129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-50130771861347837872010-12-05T16:30:02.573-05:002010-12-05T16:30:02.573-05:00hi kerri, thanks for all the compliments! you are ...hi kerri, thanks for all the compliments! you are so good at them. i was thinking of a project like the "where in the world" project a year or so ago. that was so fun. or sophie munns postcard project was great. maybe a winter theme, like odd winter customs in your area, or winter hobbies? any ideas? or do a black and white winterscape contest? what do you think?emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635860972948661626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-31562366033969110222010-12-04T15:54:07.806-05:002010-12-04T15:54:07.806-05:00Kerri,

You have many gorgeous varieties. I grow a few hardy, older varieties which do very well. the newer hybrids are not as hardy but very beautiful. I am sure the Hoya feels quite at home with you, as it is also an Australian. I am not sure exactly which one as there are a few natives. some also come from Thailand etc. the garden also looks very nice settling down for the colder month ahead.
