    Hi all!
    I'm a avid kayaker here in Ontario,and have been learning quite a bit about wild plants during my trip's.
    I came across this guy on a Island in Georgian bay.I am not sure if it's wild or maybe from a old house that was once on the island.Either way I still new to narrowing down the plant by description.And was wondering if you guys can help.

    here are two photo's of the same plant that Iuploaded to my photobucket.

    I have been wanting some of these seeds for a while. The plant actually cures poison ivy.

    Widely claimed, but no hard medical evidence to prove it.

    I saw it work, that's all the proof I need.
