OK, I am breaking down and asking for help!

I have no idea what this plant is. It was sent to me as a cutting...I put it in some dirt and watered it a while, then I checked for roots...NONE. So, I brought it to my window ledge and trimmed the bottom off a bit and stuck it in a glass of water. It has been in the water about 1 month now, and I see it has finally put out a root! (See second photo). I am so excited, because the longer I have had this little sweet curly thing, it has grown on me, and I absolutely find it to be the cutest plant on earth! I have had NO, ZERO, NADA success in finding out what it is, and I am desperate at thins point! LOL. Well, I haven't taken it down to the botanical garden here yet, but I may today. Anyway...her she is (she is too slender and curvy to be a boy)!!! LOL.

    well, you stumped me.

    Don't even know where to start with this plant. The only thing I can think of as a possibility is one of the euphorbias... but it doesn't really look right. Hopefully, someone will come along and let us know...

    Well, the nursery manager at the arboretum told me it's a senecio of some kind, she just doesn't know what. So at least you have a direction to search.

    If it were a euphorbia, it would have white sap, (which it doesn't.)

    Hi Julie-It's been a long time since I wrote!
    I have not seen them curl so much as yours, but you might check out Senecio 'Himalaya'.
    Don't know if the whole link will show, but here goes:

    Hi Julie,
    I wonder if this could be a Rhipsalis of some sort? There's several different varieties. If you think this is it, I have lots of information about them.

    It's definitely an interesting looking plant but I have absolutely no idea what it is. :(
