Name this Plant

Several years ago I was at one of those wonderful summer outdoor dining patios and was struck by the beautiful potted plants. I couldn't resist and took a small clipping of these green peas and popped it into my pocket. At home, I started it in a small clay pot and after several years, plenty of neglect, re-plantings and mostly sun this little plant thrived. It likes to hang over the side in wonderful strings of green pearls. I love it but I don't know anything about it, not even its name! So if you've had this beauty in your life and can tell me a little about it ...well, it would be fun to know more!

    1. Annie, Isn't it amazing ... the strands are so delicate yet it seems hardy in spite of my neglect. Might need to look the proper name up to find out if its available in your area. No, I don't think its edible.
