Thanks for the pic. I'm going to see if I can find any in my yard.; July 18, 2007 at 11:23 AM

You know what's really nuts? Apparently you can purchase a variegated cultivated version...but even that tends to be horribly invasive.; July 18, 2007 at 1:31 PM
S. said...: Magpie, it was for the greater good of us all. Niobe needs to know her enemy.

Yes! I've seen the commercial variety and I can't think of anything more wrong-headed!

And I had to wash my legs after taking the picture--I don't even need to touch poison ivy to get it.; July 18, 2007 at 1:35 PM
