Hot sunshine and cool ivy!!!
Our property is surrounded by natural rock walls, which I find very beautiful. But they can be quite stark looking and also hold a lot of heat, which is not something you want with summer temperatures often topping 35C! When we moved into the house 16 years ago we planted a few different ivy plants, and they are fulfilling their function!
We have to trim the ivy though, as it tends to grow both vertically and horizontally!!!

The different types of Ivy look nice and definitely has a cool effect. Thx for sharing!
Thanks @hope777 :)
I think ivy is somehow poisonous! But I like them for being evergreen and very tough!
They have to be tough to survive in our heat! I find them very pretty though, I like the shape of the leaves.
Awesome thanks for sharing!!! I bet the high temperatures are great for the plants though! Do you live in Pretoria?
No, Newcastle. I think I mentioned it before :)
You sure did! You like plants?
