I was thinking of hanging the entire pot on the wall indoor and let the stems trail down like a cascade. It does not matter if I cannot have blooms after all. I think that considering the place where my apartment is situated, having foliage is already a luxury! I would prefer to leave both of the plants in the same pot because I think it would look gorgeous with some foliage trailing up, and some trailing down! I will put it on the sun-facing side of the patio and see what will happen. It will not look bad at all outdoor! However I will have to find another plant that I can place indoor where the Hoya was! Pepeuve, do you cover your hoyas with plastic sheets and keep them outdoor during winter in Spain? If you do, I think I will be able to do that too here in Texas! I will post at the end of the growing season to let you know how my plant did! Thank you for the help! Rino

Thanks to everyone, we are no where finished but we are getting there. We went with what is real close to BM Georgian, it was something I kept mixing up. Picture below was the dark teal we had. I am attaching what we have done and where we hope to go. We will also be painting the fireplace and brick wall probably the Classic Cream, I think it will really lighten everything up and give us a new look. Picture of the dinning room is my inspiration and that is why I painted the bottom of my entry white, because it will open up to dinning room. My Picture below is not a good picture. Overall it is much lighter. Paint actually has a lot more yellow in the green, than my pictures. I was so afraid of it being dark, I have probably gone to light, most of the room looks like a soft sage. I may do a darker wash over the wall behind the couch. As you can see I am still working on the wall behind the couch, I took down the dark picture and put up a mirror, I want to have shutters on both sides, but not sure if these are the ones. Shutters are turquoise and I am trying to decide if I should keep them, and do I want to paint them white weather also, like the mirror or black or dark red, to pick up the red in room and dinning room. What do you think?Above dinning room is my inspiration, it does appear to be a green with a yellow undertone. Thanks again, for your input.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I should have included a bit of back information that would better give orientation about my overall objectives. This first year or two, my main objective is to define the borders of the porch for my two large dogs. Until now, we had a pad and grass up to the pad (pad is the same pre- and post- porch construction) and they could exit the pad anywhere. Now, I want them to get used to exiting the pad onto the sidewalk in the center, because elsewhere will now be beds (and mud and mess and plants to be stomped). That's why I've bombed the front with the cinnamon ferns, to make a sort of visual railing while the dogs re-learn their exit, and while the beds age in with better soil and I get some other plants going (hostas, etc.). For the first year or two. It will be no problem to move the ferns around the corner when that time comes. I've always wanted a mass of ferns on this eastern facing side: My second objective is to create a streamlined mow line. The grass is maintained with a 60 inch deck mower so whatever bed edge I develop needs to allow the mower to move along it easily (I guess rather than undulating what I was trying to get to was smooth curves rather than corners, for mowing purposes). Third objective is LEAST maintenance from a hand weeding perspective. I know it won't be zero, but I'd like to have it controllable without being consuming. Fourth objective is "pretty." I'm not bothered with "curb appeal" in general as the only viewers are anyone coming up the driveway; this is not seen from the street. Eventually, I would like to grow and develop in a pretty foundation border. I got the ferns cheap and they will help my first objective. As I can, I will add more plants and soil amendments, so that is what I'm asking for - where do I EVENTUALLY want to go with this, etc. I appreciate all your inputs! Please add as you have thoughts!

We do not have your acreage, which changes things, but we did have to do some initial clearing just so that our architect could even get on the site. It was very dense with a lot of thick and high underbrush. The quotes we were getting to do some of the brush work were very high, so we ended up renting a piece of equipment ourselves and DH had a fun weekend playing with the big toy. We kept all the substantial trees, and only cleared all the brush and thin tiny sand pines that were stealing water from the oaks that we want to keep. That gets complicated on a site as large as yours, but just wanted to chime in that sometimes some clearing is helpful to get on the site and properly evaluate the house placement. And, of course, ditto the previous poster re: bug spray - we were attacked!
