Need help with hoya ID

Austin, TX(Zone 8b)

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if you could please help me ID this plant.
I got it a t a local nursery and the tag only says tropical hoya. The leaves are fuzzy front and back; however the back, feels like a peach.
Thank you very much.

Looks to me like H. australis ssp australis (used to be sold as H. keysii).
The leaves are always a lighter green (rather like a "green apple" green) than the other australis.

Hi Marcy,
Thank you so very much.
I like the color of the plant, the description you made is perfect “green apple” green.
I really appreciate your help.

Thank you Patti and Karen.
I guess I was very lucky because I have a really hard time finding hoyas here in Austin. Now I have to learn how to take care of it.
Thank you again
