The question of circumstance
What is bird's-foot ivy?
In her book “The Ivy Book”, Suzanne Warner Pierot proposes a classification of ivy into 8 categories, based mainly on the appearance of the leaves.
One of these categories is called “Bird’s foot”, and consists of ivy whose leaves are very deeply cut, with pointed lobes, so that they resemble bird’s feet.
Ivy in literature
“The ivy, humble and persistent, gives the ruin an air of eternity.”
Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Importance
