scientific name parthenocissus tricuspidata.
Come on, sound it out with me, parth, en, ocissus,
tri, cusp, idata, see, its easy, now one more time, parthenocissus tricuspidata.
The family name is vataceae, I don't even know how to pronunciate that word,
ooo pronunciate, that's a dollar word!
"Definitely a dicot", a quote from Kenny's wikispace.
Dicot, that means two cotyledon.
Boston Ivy grows to about 30 metres tall,
but can grow more if given the support, just like a child's mind,
now that's deep.
You will see my plant growing along walls,
if your a Cubbies fan then you will be familiar with it
on the walls of Wrigley Field.
My plant is native to China and Japan,
home of the ninja and samurai.
My plant is a pacifist bu it can be dangerous to shrubbery
because of the dense groundcover it creates.
If you want to remove it from a wall the best way to do it is to sever the vine from the root.
The seeds are also pretty awesome, there are pictures of some below.
To finish it off I just want to reveal the password to my wikispace.
My plant is ivy, and my password was...ivy league.
Just think about it...ivy...ivy league, that's creative.
Thankyou for listening.
