I recently bought this new ivy and was wondering what kind it is? They have perfectly heart shaped leafs. Thanks.

Does anybody know the difference between Hedera helix 'Natashja' and Hedera helix 'Teardrop'. I don't know which one it would be. This below is what has confused me: http://members.tripod.com/~Hatch_L/2hedera.html http://members.tripod.com/~Hatch_L/3hedera.html Hedera helix 'Natashja' ('Teardrop') st: thick, dark reddish-brown, sometimes fasciated or flattened. ls: 98% unlobed ovate, teardrop-shaped as stated. Occasional leaves produce 1-2 sharply ls: pointed lateral lobes. Veins are closely spaced (as with fan-type cvs.) and often ls: parallel. la: apex sharply acute to acuminate - sharper than many ovate and heart-shaped cvs. lc: dark glossy green with conspicuously raised, lighter veins. rai: it makes a superior pot plant to 'My Heart' ('Scutifolia') due to the raised vein rai: texture, pointed apex, and natural leaf gloss. ns:the older name may be 'Teardrop' but we cannot yet tie that older clone to this modern one of ns: the trade. Hedera helix 'Teardrop' ns: similar to 'Natashja' but a much older name dating to Shippy in 1955. There is some reason to believe ns: based on photos the modern 'Natashja' is improved by reason of strong vigor and numerous radiating veins.
