Although the leaves on the climbing stems of ivy are five-pointed, the flowering stems have only one point. They look like two different plants.
The flower buds are like little drumsticks.
They open into greeny-yellow flowers, each with five projecting stamens.
These flowers provide a feast of nectar for insects when most other flowers are over.
And in spring they will present sprays of black berries for birds and mice, when other plants are flowering.
