Dear All

Please see attached the climber photos

Place from where the photo is clicked - Mohali, Punjab

Habit - climber though no climbing structures seen

Colour - purple all over

Leaves - purple and with entire margins, highly succulent

Flowers - Pinkish, i don't think they open

I am sorry for the bad quality but the photo is clicked with mobile

Can anyone please help me identify the plant
