Ivy on Old House Walls

Decorative ivy grown on the facade of a nineteenth century house. Frank Lloyd Wright is attributed with saying "Doctors bury their mistakes, architects cover them with ivy":). Ivies are very popular in cultivation within their native range and compatible climates elsewhere, for their evergreen foliage, attracting wildlife, and for adaptable design uses in narrow planting spaces and on tall or wide walls for aesthetic addition, or to hide unsightly walls, fences and tree stumps.
