virginia creeper, maybe by misslake (4.00 / 1) #9 Tue May 20, 2008 at 08:50:23 PM EST
i was going to say boston ivy.
boston ivy remains tight to the walls, while virginia creeper tends to hang off a bit.

both are the genus Parthenocissus

that ivy looks tight to the walls. and old.
how lovely!



I killed all the virginia creeper with a mile by cam (4.00 / 1) #10 Wed May 21, 2008 at 10:13:52 AM EST
radius of my house in VA. I mistook it for poison ivy and after getting attacked by poison ivy that required steroid shots I decided to remove it from my yard and the farm border.

Any ivy in Edmonton? by spacejack (2.00 / 0) #11 Wed May 21, 2008 at 10:57:21 AM EST
Somehow old brick buildings covered in ivy doesn't fit my mental image of Edmonton. But then you've got Richardson's Ground Squirrels.

no, it seems it is too cold here by misslake (4.00 / 1) #12 Wed May 21, 2008 at 05:08:52 PM EST
no boston ivy, virgina creeper, english ivy at all. i just checked online to make sure, i didn't recall seeing any. it seems this province is ivy-less.
