Happy New Year Everyone! I always like to start the new year with a look back at noteworthy accomplishments from the previous year. Here are the highlights of 2023:
We started out in January with my second ever flowering of Hoya thailandica, which made me very happy after having gone years without seeing a bloom.

This was followed up with a first flowering of Hoya rigidifolia and a second blooming of Hoya maingayi.
