The illumination is much too weird to enable one to judge what the plant
might be.

In fact the illumination seems to be reflected light from snow.

I have never seen an ivy with a leaf colour anything like that of
those in your picture.

I have, it was dead.

yep, its not the best pic. our digital camera is a bit broken.
i am beginning to think it might be a bit dead. but am not going to give up
on it yet. i like the colour and have seen ivy's approaching that pinky-red
colour before. but not as completely as this one.

searching on google for "hedera" and "pink" brings up two pages that are
about Hedera 'Pink and Very Curly' which i thought might provide an answer.
Unfortunatley one page is missing the pic and the other (Cotswold Garden
Flowers site) has a picture of normal-ish looking green ivy (why would it be
called pink and curly then)??

i have been looking for Senecio macroglossus too but am yet to find a match.
Which i suppose is going to be impossible if this is dead. But again, i
refuse to give up....
