I think this is Boston Ivy, Parthenocissus tricuspidata. I have a good excuse for not being certain, as it has come over the wall from Nancy Nightingale’s neighbour. Looks great against the shining lime/lemon walls, with its quaint scarlet sucker pads and crimson foliage. We may well keep it for a while.
What a wonderful colour on the wall and a great contrast with the dark red – lucky you.

I love a happy coincidence 🙂

Those colours are a stunning combination, and Boston Ivy I would welcome as a garden intruder. In our last house we had to cope with a major invasion of Russian Vine across the hedge, our neighbour loved it, but we had a continual battle with its seedlings in our garden!

What a lovely colour combination. And I notice that there are six full leaves in the photo. I think, though, that’s cheating! 😉

Lovely but watch out or it will take over the garden. Mine is threatening the whole village.

We will send it back to whence it came when it gets too much!

Such a glorious colour. At the bottom of our lane there’s a barn completely covered. It’s even grown over the barn door. Hope they never need to get in there 🙂

Be careful with that. The suckers will ruin paint. It is pretty though. Boston ivy works nicely on concrete walls. It is one of the few plants that is reliable for autumn color here in mild winters.

I have it on a trellis behind the Banana Bench and find it beautiful and well behaved.

Must be scared of you! Do you give it stern looks?

I think it may be due to the Green Man on the trellis!

Of course, he will keep the whole garden in order.
