identifying a houseplant


Question
I have been trying to find a plant for years now but don't know that name of it, I have only seen it one time.  It has trailing stems with little hard green balls all over them.  The entire plant consists of stems with balls, they're tiny.  Sorry I don't have a better description but it's been a long time since I've seen it.  Thanks.

Answer
Doris,

That's an easy one, it is called string of pearls or it's latin name is SENECIO ROWLEYANUS. It is a succulent plant that loves sun and low amounts of water. They like to be kept in small pots and like to be root bound. They can be started from cuttings. You can order a plant from the following website.
