Re: fancy ivy
Bobbie,
Funny that you should mention this! I don't know if it is the same Ivy or not,
but when I was at walmart today, they had an Ivy just as the one you described
in a 4 inch pot. It had blue green foilage on white yellow. Very pretty...I
almost bought some, maybe I'll go back again to see if it is still there. :)
