A buddy found this growing near his house...he said it seems to be growing on a vine. He wondered if it was a wild hop variety of some sort.

What say you tdub?

well i, for one, say you he dead

To me that looks like Poison ivy oak sumac....a very rare plant. You should take a bath in it.

^ those don't have serrated leaves

5/12/2011 9:15:06 AM

Virginia Creeper?

5/12/2011 9:20:23 AM

5/12/2011 9:51:52 AM

Thanks guys. You might be on to something here...

5/12/2011 11:00:50 AM

Ok, my buddy says he's an expert on Virginia Creeper and it's definitely not that....

What else you got folks?

wild strawberry imo

5/12/2011 11:21:12 AM

we thought the same thing. Dont think it is though.

5/12/2011 12:02:10 PM

There's a ton of Virginia creeper in my yard and that doesn't look like it. Too sharp

5/12/2011 12:04:14 PM

i have several buckets of hops and they don't look like that

5/12/2011 12:04:47 PM

You brewing with those hops?

Ok, think we figured it out.

Potentilla.

5/12/2011 12:58:15 PM

^^ eventually

5/12/2011 12:59:38 PM

I've got(had*) a hops vine and it doesn't look like that. Cascade hops, at least.


*Tore it up last year, and it keeps coming back.

5/12/2011 1:05:33 PM

good job on figuring it out

5/12/2011 3:20:31 PM

just spray some roundup on it and you don't have to worry about what it is.

5/12/2011 7:24:01 PM

there's an app for that

Smoke that shit, son. Could be good times.

5/12/2011 8:21:40 PM

^word.

but make your buddy smoke it first in case it sucks

5/12/2011 9:03:48 PM

I sir, for one, am an expert in a wide variety of Virginia Creepers, and this flora may not join my ranks.

5/12/2011 11:31:24 PM

Need a better pic. I'm not sure it is potentilla.
