    Hello,
    I saw a plant once that looked like and ivy of some kind, and has hard little balls all over it. I can not remember what it was called and it was so sweet that I would like to get one. It was a houseplant and looked like a trailing type of ive. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    superduty

    There is a succulent called "string of beads/pearls". Is THIS it?

    Hi,
    No, I don't think the string of pearls is it. The plant I saw had leaves as well, and the little balls were brownish. Are there other varieies that have leaves?

    Nope, but those 'little balls' would have been fruit of some kind (not necessarily what you'd eat, but how the plant may seed itself).

    Hi,
    I remember the plant was dainty looking, and resembled an ivy, with green leaves and those little brownins balls. I would love to find out what it was so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks to all who have replied so far!

    Well, it could be the berries of English Ivy (Hedera helix). They are dark purple and can turn brown/black when old. Where the "balls" in clumps or spread out?

    Hi,
    No this is not it. They were spread out and it was similar to "string of pearls" but with leaves as well.

    Could it possibly have been a rosary vine/string of hearts? They are very delicate looking and have little brown balls that you mention. They also have a very cute little cup flower that is not all that noticable.
