I couldn't decide between the Hoya's and the Crape Myrtle tree. I went with the Crape Myrtle because I didn't know if the winners after me could grow a Crape Myrtle tree in their zone. Hoya's can be grown indoors from what I read. I don't have any hoya's and thought it would be cool to try them. But I also am very curious about the size and shipping of the trees. And I need a couple more trees in my backyard for privacy and perches for the over-wintering hummingbirds.
The need for a privacy tree in my yard over-ruled my genuine interest to try those 3 hoya plants.
