By sheer chance I found that ivy I was trying to ID!! We were asked out to
dinner with friends tonight and there it was in the entrance to the
restaurant that we went to with other friends two weeks ago. I hadn't even
thought of it being there. The leaf shown in the pic is one of the bigger
ones and is about 5.5" wide and just under 4.5" long. This does not include
the stalk. If anyone recognises it I would be most grateful to have the
name. I had a bit more time to look at it properly tonight! In the pic,
the paler bits look more yellow than they are in reality. They're actually
just a paler more grey/green.

That looks very like my X Fatshedera lizei


The only pics I can Google for that seem to show its edges as being creamier
than 'mine'. As I say, it shows up paler in the pic than it does in
reality, so perhaps the Google images do the same.
