6-6 Poison Ivy, Whorled Loosestrife, sheep Laurel

 6-6

Poison Ivy, a new world native, was sold by early botanists to old world collectors as a novelty. Look for it in woods and along roadsides and fencerows.


Whorled Loosestrife favors thickets and shores.



And Sheep Laurel, AKA Lambkill, is flowering in pastures, woods and swamps. As the name implies it is poisonous to livestock.
