Just that some hoyas may need more water than you would think, really. I water this one every two days, it never gets dry. If it dries out at all the new leaves look weird and a couple of old ones will drop, as will the peduncles. It's in an airy soil mix, but I am constantly surprised that it isn't dying of root rot, lol.

Have you tried using an orchid fertilizer to get yours to bloom? The miracle grow spray seems to get them going, I use that once a week (it's very weak) and also use the shultz liquid fertilizer at about half strength every second watering or so, during the growing season.

Yes. Cheese protects against death from any cause.

The real question is, why aren't you eating more cheese?

Off topic, but since this is an post about pixelfed and I can barely find anything about this issue elsewhere: is there any way to get hashtags you're following to actually show up in your feed? All I'm getting is a handful of accounts I'm following, and since they don't have much content, it's a pretty limited experience.

He regrets nothing, clearly.

Way to go, Glenn. Keep living your dreams.

A+ frog, would feed him flies.

There's nothing more disappointing than clicking into a thread because it looks like it might be interesting or fun, and realising 90% of the comments are the same old, tired jokes, repeated ad infinitum.

As much as I'd love these monsters to go to war with each other, it would mean civil war in the country with the most nuclear warheads, and that makes the prospect something I can't celebrate.

I agree with you, and I still love Phil Collins era Genesis. Blame my dad.

Nice! How long does it take to completely unfurl? I have a McColley's Finale that never unfurls without help; I think my house is too dry for it. Really should give it away. ☹️

Hoyas are so neat, they have a wide variety of leaf and flower shapes. I should have a couple more blooming in the next few days, I'll post pics!

Any hoya heads here?

This one had a learning curve, I'd heard they were thirsty but couldn't believe it needed that much water. After many lost peduncles, I've got one set of flowers opening and another close behind.

Beautiful! Is the lower left a type of euphorbia?

Top: Longbract frog orchid and Mountain death camas Bottom: Lesser yellow lady's slipper, Wood lily, and Pink wintergreen.

All found not too far from Canmore, Alberta, Canada.

I think bottom right is a wild geranium, not sure of the species but that might be a place to start.
