    This came with a tag that said Hoya Camosa Variegata. But I was told this might be rosary vine? Any help would be appreciated. Attaching three pics.

    They look very similar. Are they just the same thing?

    Interesting plant. It reminds me of Dischidia ruscifolia, Million Hearts, because of the similarity in appearance.
