Bill, the photo you attached looks like Hoya carnosa but it may be a hybrid of another cross. There are hundreds of species of Hoyas. Unfortunately with this plant, exact identification is usually not correct.
Yes Mike, I'm saying that my plant is supposed to look all curled up and mutated, LOL...except for the dehydration! I've attached a photo of one day later and it's already perking up remarkably fast. The other photo is what the plant looks like all grown up. My plant is called a Hoya Rope....makes sense! Also called Hoya carnosa compacta. The flowers are similar in that they grow in clusters but different colors, mostly pinks, yellows.
Diseased you think?
Actually, the first time I ever saw these, my initial impression was they looked like brains. I've always been attracted to the unusual, what can I say? If I get these to flower, I'll update you.
