I can't tell you why I like ivies so much. Maybe it's the wandering nature of this plant. (Get it? wander? Wanda?) Or maybe it is the many greens and subtle variety of leaf shape, all within one plant genre. I'm a big lover of maple leaves, too, and the ivy leaf shape is so like the maple leaf.
Today's image of a variegated ivy comes from a plant in my sunroom that stayed healthy and growing all winter. Now that spring is here, this ivy's photosynthetic impulses are booming.
