Question Asked: In the yellow flowering plants is a vine with new red leaves. Is this poison ivy? It is growing in many areas of landscaping. I used rubber gloves to pull a bunch -- they were extremely oily after I was finished.

Answer: Hi Kelly -

I see this vine all the time and it can be invasive. It's wild grape. This could be fox grape or similar.
