| Hello again again.
1. On a scale of yes to no, is this poison ivy? I've waffled on that for the last two years, but now I am leaning heavily towards yes.
2. What are these, popping up around one of the roses?
3. Speaking of the rose, is it a scot or not? You can see the thorns above. Bad pic below, but it gives a sense of the arching, and hints at the number of blooms. I can almost understand missing the one out back, but I don't get how I never saw the one on the side of the house, fully visible from the path to the front door!

| #5 looks like sun drops. FataMorgana |

| Thank you!! Oh geez. I was thinking evening primrose but I thought that only opened at night. Worse yet, sun drops are on my very short list of plants to consider buying, and they never crossed my mind. Confirmation that the above IS poison ivy is bad thing/nasty surprise #2 this week. I believe these things come in threes. I also believe that if you ask "Can this get any worse?", you will probably come to wish you hadn't. Let's see if that holds true here! To the right of the tree trunk, is that also poison ivy?

| The plant that you are referring to in the last photo appears to be wild strawberry. Notice that on poison ivy the terminal leaflets has a bit of a stem on it. On strawberry all three leaflets are directly attached. |

| Ahh, thank you, lycopus. I feel slightly better about wading into that mess to save my lone white bell flower from trumpet vine now. I have a bunch of them coming up around a daylilly that the poison ivy is creeping into, and there are Indian Strawberry over there as well (and everywhere else). I kept trying to reconcile it with either yesterday, though it was obviously neither, and all the pics I got of the three together were way too blurry to post. Oddly, none of the sites I checked yesterday had wild strawberry listed as a plant easily confused with poison ivy (or maybe I'm obtuse and it's really not that easily confused :P ). I did get my nasty 3rd surprise. My water resistant garden gloves "melted" in the heat :\ |

| By the way, that looks like an Ash seedling in the middle of the poison ivy in picture one. |
|
| For the rose, try posting on the Antique Rose forum. Someone there might recognize it. Remy |

| The rose could be Rosa pimpinellifolia double white. If the hips are black it would confirm it. There is a Lilac in the centre bottom of the last picture. |
