I'm hoping that it will like our cooler climate, then, but we have far more extremes. If, like you said, it somehow knows what the weather outside is doing, I might be in for some serious difficulty growing it. Our house, however, is always between 65-75 degrees and I do own a mist bottle. I mist my tillandsias roughly every other day to every third day, so maybe shooting star could join the 'misting party' if I get it.
Edited to add:
btw,
@tarev , I was following your post in the hoya thread where, over a series of months (years, even?) you were posting pictures of your shooting star in bloom. Between that, and your earlier suggestion, I had it on my 'want' list. SRQ Hoyas has javonica and another shooting-star relative, but I am holding off because I think I want to get the one that you have. I think Gardino's Nursery carries it, but I think they are out of it and I have enough new plants at the moment to try to manage, so maybe shooting stars will be a gift to myself next year.
