Maybe that's the reason it has caught the attention of local plant and nursery enthusiasts. Before everything goes to foreign collectors and it's depleted from our mountains, it could be better if our countrymen will profit from them. It also commands a high price in foreign countries, so online local enterprising nurseries are now doing the selling.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-26028356225345700182012-04-20T13:22:34.703+08:002012-04-20T13:22:34.703+08:00It must be very exotic.

Yes Hoya carnosa is one with the best scents among the species, so well sought by collectors. I don't think i have a great collection yet because i got only two, haha!

I am just learning about hoyas because of this last name search, and i read that some hoyas have pretty leaves, which look very ornamental even without the flowers.

I also love what you're doing and honestly you are an inspiration. Regarding that funny memory of your hoya with your dog and mother, i laughed a lot in this story. Yes i read that some hoyas have not so pleasing scents, it intrigued me more! I wonder what species it could be. I am glad both my two hoyas have very pleasing scents. But i can say all hoyas have beautiful flowers, at least. haha.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-20256310655011176222012-04-20T09:24:44.056+08:002012-04-20T09:24:44.056+08:00...when the 'indefatigable thirst for knowledg......when the 'indefatigable thirst for knowledge' is always hanging inside your own head, it is not always fun!

We were just kids, and we had small dogs. One of the dogs was a male and he was notorious for "lifting his leg" in the house if we didn't watch him like a hawk. My mom was a meticulous house keeper so this was a definite issue...one day she was frantically cleaning and sniffing all over in the living room...desperately looking for the location of the dog's latest "accident". she swore she could smell urine...and wanted it cleaned up! She was chastising the dog, who was "helping" her look for his "spot"...lol...it took her all day to figure out that the smell was coming from the hoya blooms just above the chair in the corner..every now and then they seemed to send a little whiff of fragrance...and she would catch that whiff and freak out! hahahaha!<br />thanks so much for reminding me of that...it was a funny story that I did not think about for years!<br />I also thank you so much for linking in this week. It is an honor to host Friday's Flaunt and meet new friends and visit the regulars (who are like old friends) who share. I always feel so privelaged to know that inspiration is just a click away when need a bit of a boost for my spirits! It is a pleasure to tour and see all the gorgeous blooms...landscaping and ideas that all the participants share, and I appreciate each and every link and comment!
