Question Asked: No question here - Chris knows what he's looking at and graciously sent in some pictures of the beauties in his yard. (Pictures taken late May)

Answer: Yikes Chris! That's some wild poison ivy. I've never seen the vine off the host trunk like that before but there's always a first. Love your comments for the third picture:

"Look at all those berries just waiting to drop and SPAWN! Where's my hacksaw for the vine? Where's my Roundup for the leaves? Where's my calamine lotion?"

Man - I just start scratching looking at all those vines.
