I too am EXTREMELY SENSITIVE to poison ivy and recently broke out in a similar rash after being careless while propagating my all time favorite plant, the philodendron micans. I also suspected that had to be it so I took a fresh cutting and dabbed the sap several times in my arm and didn't wash off for a few hours. Somewhere between 12 & 24 hours later, I started feeling that familiar itch and watched as my test patch gradually spread out the size of a dime and rose up with the little tiny bubble pattern I'm used to seeing with poison ivy rash. THIS SUCKS! I'm in the middle of battling it right now and in my research found this helpful article. I also read another helpful tip that said the sap from these plants can somehow penetrate through standard medical gloves so thicker gardening type gloves should be used when propagating and caution should also be taken when refreshing propagation water. I plant to purchase some thick, SOLID rubber gloves that can easily be thoroughly washed. NOT those gardening gloves that have a breathable section at the back of the hand and wrists! You should also clean the tools you use and the work area. Rubbing alcohol AT LEAST 70% grade is known to be effective for cleaning tools that have come in contact with poison ivy so I plan on implementing that. As well as never shortcutting again by taking rushed cuttings and not doing the basics like laying out a protective mat and immediately washing my hands afterwards. I lazily let my NUMEROUS cuttings drop to the floor (CARPET!) and I know I didn't wash my hands right away like I normally do. A couple hours later I laid on this floor in a tank top and got a mild rash a day later across my upper back and shoulder area as well as my ear lobes which I believe is from handling my earbuds right after propagating my favorite plant. PLEASE MAKE MY PAIN WORTH IT AND LET THIS BE A LESSON TO YOU... PUH-LEAZE!

Hi Folks Well I don't think it is P. nephrodes. The leaves are not correct. It could be a foetida from the picture - see link below showing the typical foetida bract bud cage which they all have. I think it is most likely though to be P. vitifolia as Kiwinut suggests. If it is P. vitifolia it should have a pair of petiole glands (see a pair of them at http://www.passionflow.co.uk/amclose12121.htm) at the base of the stem. As ever with Passiflora ID just be patient and as jblaschke suggests wait for the flowers! Here is a link that might be useful: Passiflora foetida

Hey there Freshair, I got a look at your little tree, and it certainly LOOKS like a Bur Oak. It should tolerate transplanting, although you may want to wait until it goes dormant so you don't run the risk of it getting Oak Wilt. The biggest problem you might find with transplanting the tree is that it may have a very long taproot. It's apparently a pretty slow growing tree, only gaining about a foot a year, so it may eventually grow to the point that 7 feet is to close to the road, but probably not for another 100 years. :-)

I have an odd vine that showed up in my seed flats (?). My local garden center ID'd it as tropaoleum (Canary vine or canary creeper), but mine has pinty leaves (like a maple tree) rather than the round leaves I see in pics on the web. Vining, deeply lobed, pointed, dicot with cotyledons that are somewhat rectangular. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
