Question Asked: I do minimal yard work, so excuse by botanic ignorance. In fact, regardless of what the response is, most of these plants are headed for the big garden in the sky anyway, but I'm scratching my head trying to figure out which ones are responsible for my rash. These are three likely (IMO) supects, different plants growing in the affected area, hopefully one of them is the "winner", otherwise I'll submit some more.
Answer: Hi Fred -
I love your description of where these plants will be heading :-).
None of these pictures show poison ivy or its cousins from what I can see. The first picture looks like some sort of shrub or small tree - perhaps wild cherry or other? The second picture looks like wild blackberry - I see a number of thorns along the stem.
The third picture I recognize - it's everywhere in my yard and is a member of the Greenbrier family. A thorny vine but not dermatitis causing to my knowledge.
The easiest way to get a number of pictures uploaded is to create a zip file (you could use WinZip) and upload that. Keep taking pictures and I'll see if I can find the cause of the rash. |
