Question Asked: Here is a few pictures I took of suspected poison ivy in my back yard. The plant is growing in the rear of my yard up a pine tree. It is on the fence as well. I live in Grosse pointe park, michigan and the photo was taken today. Is it Poison Ivy?

Answer: Hi Michele - this vile is quite lovely and I suspect quite invasive, right? The simple leaves are opposite on the vine. This is not poison ivy.
