It never ceases to amaze me that some folks can just continue on with their evenings and not stop everything to gaze at the magnificence of the post-rain sunset (and ofc take a billion photos)!

The Copenhagen airport (CPH) has amazing plants. The large mature flowering Hoya Australis’ are so stunning!

About two weeks in, this is my progress. This is so fun!

i traded these for my hoya verticillata (which i think is a cool plant but it just wasn't bringing me joy) and cuttings of my hoya wilbur graves and hoya rebecca.
generally the concept of trading plants and giving others joy instead of just selling for $$ is so much nicer!
May 26, 2025 at 3:49 PM
a hoya multiflora and a larger hoya obovata, both of which have multiple mature peduncles!

as a graduation gift for myself, i traded for 2 wishlist plants from a nice guy in my neighborhood. thanks @bennokrojer.bsky.social for helping me carry them back to my apartment!

And just after finishing my thesis and submitting to EMNLP, she bloomed! Who knew that this is the price to get your Hoyas to bloom?

for context this was how tiny rebecca was they day i got her (and you can see i'd barely moved into my apartment lol... priorities)

a little closer up, its kind of hard to tell if its going to form buds but im hoping it will soon:) this plant had gone a bit dormant when i moved it out of the grow lights to a west facing window in april but now shes so much happier and im hoping for some sun-stressing this spring/summer!
May 19, 2025 at 4:42 PM
hoya rebecca may 12 vs may 16th, you can kind of see where the little peduncle formed
May 19, 2025 at 4:42 PM
now may 18th, theyre almost opening!!
May 19, 2025 at 4:42 PM
hoya sunrise, march 21st, the day i discovered 2 penduncles that were definitely not there the week prior

and one quebecoise barista just couldn't decide how she wanted to spell it 😅

i thought this might have to do with declining popularity of the name but according to baby name statistics, Eleanor is actually increasing in popularity quite a bit in the last few years and is the 15th most common baby girl name in 2023

Thanks for all who came to my poster (at #NAACL) for the interesting and lively discussions! I am feeling excited and grateful :)
