can anyone tell me if this is a hedera and if so what type it is? its leaves
and stems are a kind of pinkish colour. I bought it only recently so have no
idea whether it sprouts green stuff in spring. have looked as much as i can
on google and come up with nought.

I *think* it's an 'ivy-leaf geranium' (Pelargonium sp.?)
One of my friends has one - I'd never seen them before in pink. It
stays pink, small white flowers.

From sunny Swansea .....with no primroses but catkins now opening on hazel.
Have a look at Senecio macroglossus.......

We *think* it's an unhappy Hottuynia. Do a Google image search, typing in
that word and see if you recognise anything.

Yes, Ray thinks that's a distinct possibility - more likely, in fact.

The illumination is much too weird to enable one to judge what the plant
might be. I have never seen an ivy with a leaf colour anything like that of
those in your picture.

might be.

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

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....

You could try going through the catalogue at www.fibrex.co.uk - they
hold the national hedera collection. Their phone number is also on
their site and they are very friendly and helpful.
