I love Mother of Pearl. I had a prolific one that George insisted on moving - and it died. I have never seen one again (although I haven't really looked)

Another one is Hoya, although I have mine trained on a small trellis within a pot, so it is upright, but that also trails. I am green with envy at our neighbour - mine has never flowered and it is inside - his is hanging outside, and it was full of flowers this year. The scent is incredible. I think mine doesn't get enough sunlight inside, but the leaves are luscious.

Aeschynanthus (lipstick vine) works well for me - has glossy green leaves, and dark red tubular flowers (hence the common name) Another favourite is rhipsalis (mistletoe cactus) although this needs good light but no direct sun - mine is on a cabinet beside a south-facing kitchen window. Right now it is covered with starry white flowers (it doesn't flower every year...)

String of Hearts plant (also known as Rosary Vine, Ceropegia linearis woodii) is pretty. [www.pernellgerver.com]
There's also the very attractive and interesting succulent Donkey's Tail (Sedum morganianum) but little pieces can be broken off reasonably easily if it's in an area where it will get bumped or it's strands moved about.

I used to have a glorious one, with trails over 4 metres long but that was way back in the 1980s. These days I have no house plants...
There's one small one selling on trademe [www.trademe.co.nz] - might pay to grab it. The plants put out little nodules which you can use to start new plants so you could go into business with your one little plant and recoup your money...
Otherwise King's Plant Barn says if you put your name down with them they'll let you know when they've got them in [www.kings.co.nz] - perhaps you could become their main supplier
