Hi!
I have these weird looking "nubs" on the stems of my ivy plant...it's 
otherwise *very* healthy (thank heavens).  They are a light green and 
vary in length from 1-5 millimeters in length.  They appear in 
clusters.  I paniced when I noticed them, and promptly cut a large 
clump off; I sniffed it out of curiosity...and it smelled like 
chlorophyl!  I squished it between the back of my finger 
nails...*definately* cholophyl!  So, now I have to turn to you more 
experienced folks: is it a fungas-thing that makes this happen, is 
there a pest whose egs smell like chlorophyl, or is it perfectly 
natural?  I am tending toward perfectly natural because I've noticed 
a numbner of small, hard, dark brown nubs that look like they *might* 
be these things all dried out.  But I'm curious and baffled...never a 
good thing.  ;-)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Blessings,
Kimberlee
