Stressed ivy
Ivy the plant, that is, not @englishtchrivy.
Ivy (Hedera, usually Hedera helix where I live) is an evergreen, climbing plant that is very strong. When older, it can take all sorts of abuse and merrily grow on. I've seen 20cm (12") thick branches of the stuff, and I have actually cut some walking sticks out of it.
The wood is strong, flexible and beautifully fine-grained, and I wonder if it could be used for making bows. I'm not aware of any common applications for the wood; probably that's because there aren't enough thick branches of the stuff to go around.
Younger ivy can have problems coping with too much or too little water, lack of nutrients, and cold, which can stress the plant. When this happens, the leaves will turn red:

It looks like a different species of ivy, and pretty too, but actually this is a plant that is feeling not at all well, photogenic as it may be.
