| Hello, I'd like to identify this ivy cutting. This comes from Baja California, Mexico. Thanks.  |

| I think it might be Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) https://www.calflora.org/cgi-b... ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

Baja_costero, I realize cacti and succulents are your specialty, but given you live in Baja, does this look familiar?  |

| I agree that it looks like Virginia creeper. Porkpal |

| Was it growing wild outside of city limits or somewhere potentially a garden? If it's in a garden it could be anything, Parthenocissus, Cissus. In the wild would have to be native which would narrow the field considerably. “That which is, is.That which happens, happens.” Douglas Adams |

| Another possibility is Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus vitacea) ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| Thanks for all yours replies. I'm a total neofite, but it doesn't look like Parthenocissus vitacea to me, the leaves does not have pronounced jagged edges, just very light ones. Likewise, it might be Parthenocissus quinquefolia, although the pictures in the database are so different from one another it's hard to tell in my inexpert eye. The plant I have got the cuttings from grows in a garden, so it might not be native. |

| The stem just doesn't seem "vine-y" enough to me to be Parthenocissus, or even Cissus. The foliage seems to be more substantial as well. It almost seems more Aralioid. “That which is, is.That which happens, happens.” Douglas Adams |

 It doesn't look like any Aralia or Fatshedera that I'm familiar with. I'm still leaning towards Parthenocissus. Perhaps you could take it to a local botanical garden, nursery, or University extension office and see if they can identify it. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| I don't have pictures of the whole plant right now but I will post it ASAP. What I can tell you is that I don't see any flowers and it's a climber plant which sticks pretty firmly to the wall. |

| Here are two images og the plant with a flower and the tendrils. Hope they help.   |

| The flowers in the first picture are Honeysuckle and the plant in the second picture is Virginia Creeper. The Honeysuckle is growing THROUGH the Virginia Creeper. There are some creeper fruit in the first picture as well. It's been awhile since I've seen Virginia Creeper. Lots of Boston Ivy, very little Virginia Creeper. And the ivy's name is Steve.  “That which is, is.That which happens, happens.” Douglas Adams |

| Funny detail about the honeysuckle growing throught the ivy. I'm glad you could identify the plant as Virginia Creeper. |
