This little ivy arrived in my garden by itself! I dug it up and planted it against the fence. It is now about 6-8 inches high and as wide, very dense. All the leaves seem this rather contorted shape, plain green with lighter veining. Any ideas?

I thought it was the same as one of Janey's too, Amy, until I brought a leaf in and compared it!

I think it's like mine Gee......arrow shaped with the 3 lobes, I think mine has been in the garden for a long time, hence the cobwebs..lol...no really they must germinate from a see dropped by the birds do you think?

I'm still not certain, Janey, my ivy leaves are rather odd shaped while yours are nicely shaped! Perhaps mine will grow a bit more in the summer and straighten themselves out. I think you're right that its a little gift from the birds :)
I've been through the Fibrex collection on the internet to see if I could spot anything similar but no luck there either but it was fascinating to see so many different varieties and I picked out a few more for my wish list.

Lovely shape - sorry can't help with name. I love Ivy so I'll have a look at the Fibrex Collection!

Fibrex has some lovely ones, Clematisa. I bought several last year and they were all bushy healthy plants.
