I'm very hooked. I've managed to acquire about 45 of them, mostly thanks to good friends :)

My life is taken over by hoya; my days revolve around hoya care. I came home from work last night to find that one of my hoyas had bloomed and the flowers had dropped already since the last time I went into the room. I was not happy; I guess it would have been worse if I hadn't seen its flowers before.

Hoyas are my passion and consume my life for the most part...have you visited my website? I am determined to 'hook' many others as quickly as I am able to...thanks Carol!

Hey Joni....

The true sign that you are hopelessly involved is when you rationalize by saying ..."Oh, well...just this one"... I cannot believe how much I have learned about life, geography, climate in SE Asia, growing epiphytes since starting with hoyas...and the rewards are wonderful!!!

I know that Joni is a marvelous enabler.... Hurray!

Hee hee hee, Carol, its called "hooked" on hoya ... "Oh well ... just this one"? ... its more like "Oh well, just a dozen this month ... and then next month just another 20". Big Grin

We do need more enablers like Joni (Hi Joni!). Any chance you'd like to move to Canada Joni? Rolling on the floor laughing

LOL, I voted "kinda" hooked, I am not as bad as most of y'all. Big Grin If I was 20 or 30 years younger I would have voted Hopelessly Humongously, Hellishly Hooked on Hoya! ... maybe it's a good thing that I didn't know or learn anything about Hoya's until 2006?? I keep saying "If only I had a greenhouse"!

You can't 'un-ring' a bell.
I've been hopelessly hooked for a few years now, but I wasn't able to find anything other than carnosa up until recently.

I've been looking for more variety of Hoya for years...

Now I know how to get them and where to find them. Thanks to you, all!

I keep saying, just one more order. The other night I even rationalized my addiction by telling myself that I need to reward myself with hoyas because I have to work at my awful 3rd shift Target job. Then while I am there stocking shelves I notice things I could buy to sit my hoyas on.

I've been rationalizing by telling myself I DESERVE to be rewarded for quitting smoking! After all, I'm only spending my smoking $$$$, and DH is still smoking....

SEE! JUST LIKE THAT! There I go rationalizing again... Rolling my eyes.

I had to vote hopelessly hooked with a serious addiction. With over 260 Hoya's in my collection and trading and or buying more I have a serious Hoyaholic addiction in the making.......

No, but my wife might push me off the cliff if I keep saying 'just one more, honey, I promise!' I am totally gone and not ashamed of it. I keep looking for space I can utilize to add more, and several of you are really feeding my addiction, and I don't even want to join hoyaholics, so there! Ha!

Randy...can't you get her on the bandwagon...with her own collection of whatevers...then you can race for 1) the most plants, 2) the most blooms 3) the fewest dead leaves.... etc.
