NATURE'S DESIGN
NORTH MUSKHAM, England
(UPD—lt’s not unusual for
houses to have ivy-covered
walls. But on the Inside?
A sprig of ivy sprouted
through Gertrude Bourne’s Ivy
patterned wallpaper a few
weeks ago, and now quite a
healthy growth is spreading up
the wall. No one can figure out
how the ivy got there or how it
survives.
‘T’ve got used to it by now,”
Mrs. Bourne says.
