Vines - Part 5 - Ivy
A lot of plants are called "ivy", but only those belonging to the genus Hedera are really ivy. Most of us know ivy as a rather rampant and somewhat boring evergreen ground or building cover, but once you discover the shapes, forms and colors of ivy, be warned, it can become addictive. As a vine for shade, it is unsurpassed. I have lots of photos for you, so the page may be slow to load.

Vines Part 6 - More Ivy Plus
Ivy is an remarkably variable plant. Leaf size, shape and coloration differ tremendously among cultivars, most of which have been found as mutations rather than having been bred on purpose. Not only do cultivars vary, individual plants, depending on their level of maturity, can have leaves that bear almost no resemblance to others growing a few inches away. There are also other vines I grow or want to grow plus a lot of photos and images in this article, so please be patient while it loads.
