Garden Reports and Rejoicing – November 22 – In the Spirit of Thanksgiving Week
Dear Poison Ivy Vines
Thanks for reminding me not to judge something by how it looks. You appear to be brown and dormant…just another dead stem in a woodland full of such stalks. Really, you look so harmless.
Yes, I now realize that your sleeping vines have the same irritating oil in them as those problematic leaves of three. Thank you for reminding me to stay alert and never assume,
C.L.
Never judge a book by its cover, don't evaluate a person by how he or she is dressed, and never assume anything about a plant based on how the dormant stems appear...my rash concurs.
