This is really cool.

Actually there is a vine that looks almost identical to English ivy (Hedera helix), yet does have yellow daisy-like flowers. It is Senecio macroglossus, which goes by a bunch of different common names, including cape ivy. Like English ivy, it can be either completely green or variegated:

Senecio is a large genus that includes diverse things like dusty miller and string of pearls. They're not closely related to ivy. These plants require zone 10 and higher.

I realize this may seem like a joke--it almost looks like someone stuck daisy flowers in the middle of ivy. I couldn't believe it when I first heard it. It's for real-here's a detailed description of the plant:

I don't think they sell artificial plants/flowers like this.


If you do a google search for: senecio macroglossus price, you can find a number of places that sell plants or seed.
