Id of houseplant (2)

Concord, NH(Zone 5a)

This is the second post with an additional picture

My wife has had this plant for many years. We have no idea what it is. It has flowered in the past. Reddish/Pink flowers with a head diameter no larger than a penny. There is a prominent stem that extends beyond the flower petals, I believe there are five petals. It is currently in a 10" hanging pot and hangs approximately 30 inches below the rim of the pot. The leaves are green and 'fuzzy'. The dead leaves do not easily fall off the plant. They turn brown and become sort of translucent. It is hanging in a south facing window and gets 3-4 hours of direct light per day. The room is about 65 degrees. I keep the soil damp, never dry. Does anyone know what this plant is and what care I should be giving it to help it stay healthy? Thanks!

That looks sorta like a plant I have but I can't remember what the name is. I will do some research and see if I can figure it out! Bet someone else beats me to it with a correct ID though!

This isn't the one I have but it is similar ... does your plant resemble any in these photo's?
