Question Asked: No Question - Here are Kevin's comments:

This picture was taken recently in my front yard. Only recently did I notice the PI growing next to what I believe is a wild blackberry plant. Easy to miss because the berry plant also has a 3 leaf structure. PI was sprayed with Roundup prior to taking picture which accounts for the shiny leaves. Location is NE Ohio.

I assume this is PI (third picture) despite the large leaves. Sprayed with Roundup prior to taking picture. I am amazed at the wide variety of the shape and size of PI leaves.

Answer: Hi Kevin -

I've noticed some extremely large leafed poison ivy this year. I've put some pictures up on a new page of poison ivy pictures. Some of the leaflets were over 8" long. So there's no doubt in my mind that you are seeing some big stuff.
