These are pics of plants that my Mom said were Poison Ivy. I know the "rule of three leaves", but I also believe that doesn't always hold true (does it??). Could this be the harmless Virginia Creeper (please???). There are no berries or blossoms yet. Thanks, Michelle in Michigan Zone 5
Looks more like Parthenocissus quinquefolia Virginia Creeper. Here's a site for comparison: http://images.google.com/imgres?img...quinquefolia&start=80&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&sa=N Here's Poison Ivy: http://images.google.com/imgres?img...s?q=poison+ivy+leaves&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&sa=G The leaves are almost always compound with three leaflets.
