My favourite sort of plants  All beauties Gwen. Some of my plants the same have now stopped flowering since we've had the temps around 0C but noticed quite a lot of buds on my spring flowerers so won't be long before the garden is back in top form. | |

| Thanks MA and Gail . Theres only one problem with that Hoya its growing up the big oil palm and every year some of the fronds that die off need cutting down ,when that happend I always loose a lot of the hoya as it tends to grow along the fronds.I have 6 fronds dead right now, when John gets time to cut them down and Hoya will be sacrificed again so if anyone need strands of that Hoya just PM me and I ll put a record in my trade book . | |

| Thank You all..
I had a call yesterday from Limberlost nursery ,Cairns, to advise me thet now have a plant I had on back order as they have struck a batch.
The plant is Clerodendron quadriloculare.
http://annstropics.com/Descriptions/Clerodendrum_quadriloculare.html
Seeing I will have to pay freight from Cairns and its the same freight for up to 5 plants , well what would you do . I have to work out from my long wish list what to get.
One plant I am going to try again as the last one I had died is Mucuna novo guineensis.
