Yay it’s Friday πŸ₯³!! Although retired now I still like weekends because then all my β€˜not retired’ friends aren’t working! πŸ˜† πŸŽ‰

Hoya Heaven ☁️ πŸ˜‡ in July at my Oasis🏑 πŸŒΈπŸŒΏπŸƒπŸŒΌ. Pubicalyx is in full drippy juicy bloom. Krimson Queen leaf is blushing pink 🩷 + peduncle popping out and 2 tiny pink bΓ©be leaves πŸƒπŸ’• Last two are post sulfur treatment, only the first go round & already showing happy signs of new growth πŸͺ§ πŸƒ- Hoya Chelsea and Burtoniae 🌱.
Today is orchid watering πŸ’¦ day 😊. Always fun to get in and look πŸ‘€ close up! Hopefully some signs of new roots or spikes πŸ™ƒπŸ«’πŸ€«πŸ«£
What’s happening in your oasis and gardens? Any special plans for the weekend? #TheWateringHole

You have a beautiful oasis!!
@FamouslyAlula83 ☺️thank you!
@FamouslyAlula83 hey we’re CA oasis buddies! Love your morning glories!!πŸ₯°
@FamouslyAlula83 I second that!!!
Marian, is the β€œjuice,” sticky? Asking for the future so I know if I need to put something under it to protect flooring.
@MariansOasis those are looking πŸ‘€ good!πŸ‘
@BuffCaperspurge ☺️ thank you
@HolyLacealoe yes, it is sticky too. Not terribly so, but I do put a towel or something underneath my juicy Hoyas when they’re in bloom to absorb the drips πŸ’§. These 3 for sure - Pubicalyx, tricolor wayetii, and multiflora Shooting Star. Drip machines!!!!! πŸ’§πŸ«ŸπŸ’§πŸ«Ÿ
@RefinedSandwort thanks Joy ☺️
@HolyLacealoe @FamouslyAlula83 wow 🀩 three 3 CA girls on the same thread! Doesn’t happen often πŸ˜†
So pretty!!!
@Miawilliams thank you Mia! I see you’re a horse girl too 🐴
@Miawilliams do you have a horse? I just got a new one, he’s a quarter horse 🐴
Love your wax plant flowers. Looks like an orchid
@HipIvorytowers Hoya blossoms are pretty awesome!!🀩
Marian simply beautiful. The blooms are awesome. πŸ‘
Today. Blacked out and order a lot of plants. Need to hold a plantaholic meeting. It looks like I won’t get an intervention. Here are the pictures of my plant mail of the day. Today will be setting these beauties up and letting the others know I have enough love for all of them. Wishing everyone healthy happy and blessed weekend.
@MariansOasis please explain I know my Hoyas are babies so I have a while. Still curious though
@FitBrowallia great new plants!! What is that first one? At first glance I thought FLF but obviously not πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
@FitBrowallia sorry Jonchel, I must need a nap 😴 what part of Hoyas are you curious about?
@MariansOasis thank you!!
@MariansOasis it’s an Aralia Fabian
@MariansOasis I need a nap also. Dripping sticky. That doesn’t sound right 🀣
@FitBrowallia oh haha yes, juicy and sticky! So some, not all, Hoya flowers drip a lot of nectar. It’s mostly water and sugar. It attracts pollinators when living outside. But can make messes 🫟 on tables, floors, other plants, themselves!! πŸ€ͺ. I have to shower them 🚿 off when they drip on themselves. It’s not thick like honey 🍯. More like maple syrup consistency. I’ve not had ants 🐜 go after the nectar but I hear they can and will! I keep a towel underneath when the drippy ones are in bloom.
@FitBrowallia you can see the droplets that formed on this blossom. This one will just drip onto the plant. Then she’ll get a shower 🚿 πŸ› 🧽 when she’s all done blooming.
@MariansOasis that is beautiful. Thanks for the new information. Can’t wait for mine to πŸ’§
@MariansOasis I have three horses! A Belgian/Quarter/Perch, Quarter, and Frisian/Morgan!
