It does seem that the red leaf is Virginia Creeper but you know I photographed another roof in the village - same day - and that leaf was like the green one in this photo, yet red. There has to be two different plants here. Thanks so much for all the research, Jorsodoni. I've got a Virginia creeper growing up the back of my house - a smaller variety - and it does look like this!Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-38767768866205505522008-10-26T17:23:00.000+01:002008-10-26T17:23:00.000+01:00ha! so back to your first point of view, Jilly - ...ha! so back to your first point of view, Jilly - You should never doubt yourself! <BR/><BR/>Have a look at the photo in the wikipedia entry - as islipian says, (and I was wrong too, I remembered wrongly and didn't look it up before) def Virginia Creeper for the red plant. The green one is ivy-ish but I don't know which one, there are plenty of varieties to choose from. <BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenocissus_quinquefolia<BR/><BR/>the five separate leaf bits gives it away.josordonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870580218492840741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-57322961242197172712008-10-26T17:07:00.000+01:002008-10-26T17:07:00.000+01:00I don't know what it is, I'm going to come see it ...I don't know what it is, I'm going to come see it some day.
