Hey everyone, I was checking out raffle vendor's sites and went to SRQ Hoya's site, wondering if I might be daring enough to try hoyas soon. I love SRQ Hoya's site and there is a lot of good information there, but I wanted to bring my questions here, too...

What Hoya's would you recommend that meet the following:
1) good for beginners
2) fragrant blooms
3) doesn't need direct sunlight

I already have a bunch of amaryllis that I need to move in and out...I really don't want to have to add to my plant hauling load Rolling my eyes. It'd be nice if it stayed put indoors and was okay with medium-bright lighting conditions in the house.

If, by some chance, there are a lot of hoyas that fit those three objectives, I'd love to hear about the ones that are RED, WHITE, or other NON-PINK cultivars. Pink is okay, but I prefer bolder colors.

Also...just HOW messy are hoyas? I recall reading that they can get pretty messy with their sugary sap (?), is this true? You're probably thinking 'wow, clearly a newbie'...and you'd be right. Hilarious! Any help for this greenie (with the semi-brown thumb) would be appreciated!
