Question Asked: Is this poison ivy?
Answer: Well John, you've got me scratching my head. I've been over and over these 2 pictures (in the larger version you sent) and I can only see bits and pieces of the stem and possible vine. Also, the leaves just don't look right to me for poison ivy. I'm going to take a giant leap here and identify this as poison oak. In the top picture in the upper right corner is a 3 leaflet configuration which definitely resembles poison ivy to me. The big 3 leaflet set in the middle of the picture though has many lobes and doesn't resemble the poison ivy I've seen. I reviewed many pictures of poison oak and found this site which has pictures closely resembling what you've sent. What I don't know and what I should have asked was what region these pictures were taken in. I'm not terribly confident in the identification and I hope that others might be able to shed some light here.
NOTE: Stumped no more! We're received enough submissions (thank you!) that it's become apparent that this is poison ivy. |
