The only things I tie up are my climbers. Roses, clematis,
honeysuckle
and a broad leaf ivy. I can't remember its name



Could the ivy be Hedera colchica, or a cultivar of same?

I don't know but I will take a photo for you. It has a large leaf, not
at all like the smaller leaved ones I have in other places.

Here is a pic of my ivy.

Paddy's Pride? We have it on a wall of the house and it's a large leaf
variety.


I will take your word for it. I have no idea!




Well, Hedera 'Paddy's Pride' is another name for Hedera colchica
'Sulphur Heart', and it certainly looks like yours. So I can be pleased
I got the colchica bit, and Sacha can be pleased she got the cultivar.
Under the name of 'Sulphur Heart', it is very widely available which
increases the likelihood.
