Question Asked: I got rash from my backyard work in Atlanta, GA. There are several plants which may be poisonous. Please help me to identify them.
Answer: This is quite an interesting lot of plants in the backyard. None of the primary plants in these 3 pictures is poison ivy. Starting from the top:
The first picture: Not one of the Toxicodendron family (poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac). It's a pretty little plant. Could it be more of the same as what's in the third picture? (trumpet creeper).
The second picture: There are several different plants and I'm not sure who is wrapped around who. It's not likely poison sumac but I can't tell you what it is. I need more pictures from different angles to get a better idea of this plant.
The third picture: The plant here is a vine growing up a tree and is called trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans). This plant has its own issues as for sensitive people it can cause severe skin irritation. |
