Ivy flowers photos.

Ivy is an indispensable plant for wildlife. Its year-round dense coverage provides nesting places for birds, especially wrens, and hiding places for insects and small mammals. On mature plants, spherical clusters of tiny, yellow-green flowers are produced in autumn, followed by black berries, providing late nectar for insects and berries for birds. Ivy is one of the main plant foods for the holly blue butterfly.
