As the UK and Commonwealth prepare to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee this weekend, we have an extra public holiday - so a 4 day weekend....thanks Ma'am  In true British style, after nearly 3 weeks of glorious sunshine, the weather has broken today, with temperatures due to halve by tomorrow - pouring rain morning til night. So many people have been planning street parties and events all across the country - what a shame...and I have nothing but sympathy for the poor people be-decked in their ceremonial uniforms for the parades and pageants. They will be very heavy and soggy by the end of it! ...and thousands of soggy spectators in London  Waterproofs and wellies at the ready  |

| Julie, I'm very sorry to hear that the weather will be so terrible for the Queen's Diamond Jubiliee  We have the same awful weather here - way below normal temperatures, wind driven rain, and no sun in sight for at least 4-5 days. Not easy to grow Hoyas with weather like that. We will see how many of my plants lose their roots  Doug |

It is a shame Doug, we've had temps approaching 30 degrees, its 16 today and due to be 10 by tomorrow. No wonder us Brits are obsessed by the weather  I've put the heater on standby in the greenhouse again! I agree that this variation in temperature really plays havoc with watering the hoyas. I'm always really cautious when it's cold, and probably didn't give them enough when it was hot! However...I have a special bloom open for the first time - and I had to wait nearly as long as a hoya to get it!! (4 years from planting) My baby pink wisteria:  a close up of the flower:  |

| I also have had the same rainy weather all week long.A few of my hoyas are showing sighs of some sort of fungus on the leaves.I do hope the sun comes back soon. Julie sorry to hear that the celebrations will have to be carried out in the rain. |
