What is this hanging plant?

I want to put up some plants in the eaves of my conservatory, so the leaves trail down above our heads.

I have found these two examples, can anyone tell me the name of the plants?

    Sorry mameha but I do not recognise either of those two plants. The top one looks rather poorly to me. Is your conservatory hot or cold as this changes some of the plant suggestions.

    MrMahonia, are you sure that's a hoya?  This is what the hoya I know looks like

    Much more substantial leaves and different growth habit to the one in Mameha's picture image

    Ah, MrM, I see image  thank you - more details has been added - Hoya linearis - not one I know - it looks fascinating, but according to this not an easy plant
