The name of my new friend brings to mind the Star Wars characters, R2-D2 and C-3PO. This is my very first post here. Could I have come up with something more profound than that?

I'll give it another growing season before it touches the floor. I never realized it would grow so fast.<br /><br />Well, I guess I spend a few more weeks debating to prune or not to prune. Maybe I find another way to deal with long branched twines.

(Though my guess would be yes, it probably will skip a year -- I don't know if all <i>Hoya</i>s do this, but <i>H. carnosa</i> reblooms over and over from the same spot, so if that spot gets cut off, it can't rebloom until it's grown a mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-64726639979731414872013-06-07T18:38:40.533-07:002013-06-07T18:38:40.533-07:00It's pretty!

Same sweetness but not as strong as Sans smell.<br /><br />However, I have 'problem'. It grows so well in my hands that the vines are getting too long.

I have noticed with both of mine that the scent during the day is far different than in the evening. I also find their fragrances to be much more pronounced in the evening -- though whether this is due toPaulnoreply@blogger.com
