Andrea B. Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Blum, A.G. (2013) Cymbalaria muralis G.Gaertner, B.Meyer & Scherb. (Scrophulariaceae) Ivy-leaved Toadflax. Flowers photographed in ultraviolet and visible light. http://www.ultraviol...kenilworth-ivy/ Deep Cut Gardens, Middletown, New Jersey, USA08 April 2013Wildflower in botanical garden Synonyms:Kenilworth IvyLinaria cymbalaria L.Comment: This non-native plant can often be seen growing on stone walls where it clings but really does not climb like true ivy. I've seen C. muralis growing charmingly on stone bridges in Venice. The flower shows a lovely two-tone UV appearance with a velvety UV-black on the lower portion of the corolla. The leaves are UV-dark and somewhat iridescent. Reference:1. New England Wild Flower Society (2013) Cymbalaria muralis.
