From one who fears Slithers, the only good snake is a dead one! They make wonderful belts, boots and hat bands. I grew up in Rattler country. Had a fair number of encounters with kings, gophers, garters and red racers. Having two brothers who thought snakes of any kind were ideal tools to scare the begeezus out of me. I dread snakes of all kinds. Brothers would keep smaller rattlers in quart jars in their bedroom. Mom didn't know cuz it wasn't her job to clean the room. When informed, she made them get rid of the snakes. They were relocated to the grain barrel I kept in the milk barn. I found them when I tried to scoop grain out for the cows. Not a good thing to find nearly a dozen of the creepies in there! Carol

Wow, I come over here to this forum about once a month. More or less, by accident. Rocky Mountain Gardening is kind of quiet but Idaho Gardening just isn't happening. I am sorry that I took so long in checking and giving an answer. Okay, how about: Eupatorium capillifolium There is a link to google images below.

Sorrel perhaps?

Your plant, one of my favorites) is Bush Ivy (Fatshedera lizei). It is important to understand how it grows to use it correctly. Unlike other ivies, it does not have little roots that cling. It must be supported (espalied) on a wall, fence or pergola. As it matures in your zone it will send out branches that could be 12' long and it becomes very heavy so needs a strong support. It can be pruned back and controlled any time of the year. I have grown it on a fence using tiers of grape wire supended through screw eyes and the branches afixed to the wire with single wrap velcro. Also, the entrance to my garden in a former home was a strong arch with Bush Ivy secured to it. In the late winter you will note quite a bit of yellowing and dropping leaves. Normal situation not to worry about. Hopefully you can find a growing situation for this plant. It is a beauty.
