Reminds us of Florinda coccinea
even in the way it's hanging upside down. See info in the guide here. First posting from Texas, if it is Florinda!!

Thank you
Yes, it looks very similar to that and I can't find anything else that looks like it. I think its a safe bet that that is what it is. Thanks again!
