Happy to report that she is good now and better every day. So many humans stay in unacceptable relationships. Especially women. I am proud of her courage to get the hell out. He was not a mean person, just a very lost soul that she couldn't fix. Lesson learned... When I left California, she inherited my houseplants. My former hoya plant began as a cutting I grabbed about 10 years back. The original plant belonged to the man's father and stepmother. It thrived at their place in Sea Ranch, and had SO many sweet pale pink waxy blooms. I was smitten. It took a decade, but the hoya is blooming again! Daughter sent some pics.
I need to grow them here, outside! Wondering if the jade flower vine we have is related?

Oh, that is a pretty plant!
So glad for your daughter. It is hard to get out of a mediocre relationship. Because you think, okay, this isn't abusive, plus he has good qualities (and I'm sure not perfect), plus I've already invested x-amount of time, bla bla bla. Getting out takes this surge of energy and motivation, along with a willingness to possibly hurt someone, and who wants to do that? So KUDOS to her! I always think that BOTH people will be better off in the long run when this happens because growth, etc.
Cool plant! Never heard of it before. Glad your daughter is out of the Tenderloin. I was not fond of that part of town at all. Glad she's in a better area. Love Noe Valley.
Love the hoya. I had one in the backyard here, but I think it's gone. I might go looking for it. Yes, it's a jungle out there.
