Question
  I bought a hanging basket almost 30 years ago that had a plant called candle-stick ivy. I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the ivy family. It had hairy small leaves similar to an african violet. It reqired bright light. The more light it received the undersides of the leaves would get red. It would send up stems that would be covered with small flowers almost resembling a small dragon flower. The flowers were pinkish in color. I've tried to find it on the internet to no avail. Thank you in advance to any reply you could give me

Hi Jim
I have worked with plants for almost 30 years and have never heard of a 'candle stick ivy'.  Is this an indoor or outdoor plant?  
The closest plant I can think of is called an Angle Trumpet.  Please go to this website and let me know if this is anything close:
