About the house, the houseplants & the Hoya's

This is my first post here,never done something like this before so it is a bit creepy.I like to post some pictures from the house and the plants,so I see if I can manage:-)We-Mart and I- live on the countrysite,in a house that was build in 1931 by an ancestor of my husband. It stood in the water during the big flood in 1953,but luckely it didn't collapse. Nowadays we have a humidity inside that is mostly between 60 and 80 % because of the remaining salt in the walls,maybe not the
best for the furniture  but great for the plants!:-)

    These pictures are taken by an aunt of Mart,she lived in this house till she died in 1992.

 And this is how the house look now.

  The next pictures are taken inside.

    This is Bram,one of our 14 cats,behind a Spathyphillum and a Draceana.

 Angel on the other site of the front,with Asperagus,Phoenix,a litte Pachira and a Chameadorea.

I  loved houseplants whole my life,mostly the green one's,but about 10 years ago I bought 2 varieged
Hoya's,because I liked the leaves very much.Recently I discovered that there are a lot of variety's in the Hoya family,so a new interest was born.

In the left corner of the right window is my oldest Hoya Carnosa.

    This is a rooted cutting from Hoya kerrii,I bought it from Paul Shirley.

                      Hoya memoria (gracilis) from Fer and Urs Jansen,Wouw.

    Hoya pauciflora,from EPRIC foundation.

                     In the corner the second of my oldest carnosa's,I think a tricolor.

    Hoya pubicalix GPS 282,rooted cutting from Paul Shirley.

 And this is Hoya diversifolia,also from Paul Shirley.

                     Hoya carnosa from the outside,and below a little window with in the right side
                     of the middle Hoya cummingiana,from EPRIC.

 

Earlier this year I met a Dutch Hoya lover and collector on facebook,Gerrit van 

der Zee,and he was so kind to give me all sorts of information about Hoya's.I got

the next unrooted cuttings from him:

-Hoya wayettii

-Hoya sulawesi

-Hoya kentiana

-Hoya  serpens

-Hoya thompsonii

-Hoya bilobata

-Hoya australis

and 2 rooted Hoya's: australis ssp australis(keysii)& polyneura.

I potted the unrooted cuttings up in a mixture of orchidbark and cactus soil,and put them in

a little greenhouse.I hope they will root!                                                                                 

        So much for the first post,I think it was easier to handle than I thought!:-)
