Thanks for the comment. This ivy took several years to get that look.
I must say that I have a climbing hydrangea on a tree. That took 9 years of climbing til the flowers came. Today it is stunning.

The ivy looks fantastic on the stone wall. I’m trying for a similar effect with climbing Hydrangea.

Here in California a publisher called Thompson & West created histories of all the counties. They would create faithful illustrations of the existing homes of interest. These big books are in every library and are the most faithful sources of how Calif. gardens looked in the 19th century though I suspect they did a little Hollywood magic on the gardens.

It’s easy to get seduced by glamorous photos and visuals. I often want what I can’t have as I peruse catalogs and periodicals myself.

I would think the term means boxwood, just as you do. Gardening is never ‘done’, as you know. Just finished some pruning, and may need some more in a few days after I think about other plants.
