Okie Dokie ~ I am not sure what I have but it appears there are three different sets of leaves in this pot. I started this plant and "thought" they were all the same.

On the base of one vine it is primarily green, longer leaves but also has a variegated vine coming off the main plant. This green hoya has the paler bloom.

The other has a different leaf shape more rounded and the veins are more prominent with the darker pink bloom.

In this photo, you can see the veins in the horizontal leaf. The others are a solid green with silver flecks.

I definitely have two different Hoyas here but what and what? And why has a vine reverted to the Krimson princess?

Edited to add ~ not a great shot but hopefully you can see the difference... pod
