    Hello folks,
    This lovely was already planted at my house when I moved in 15 yrs ago. Doesn't like bright sunlight, but loves to grow around the pond. I've never seen flowers so I can't comment on them.
    Anyone know what it is?
    Thanx much,
    Anne (zook)

    Looks like one of the hundreds of forms of Hedera helix, soi dit English Ivy.

    Wow! Really? I'm shocked! It doesn't seem anything like English Ivy. Thankfully, it doesn't have that awful smell when you cut it!
    Thanks for your help!
