I am posting a pic of a vine that I would like to identify (so as to curse its name accurately!). I wintersowed this stuff, thought it was clematis, planted it in several places. In one border, it went beserk -- covered sunflowers, sprawled out into the lawn, smothered other plants -- while elsewhere it seemed reasonably behaved. It has 7 lobed, toothed leaves and very sticky, slightly hairy stems reddish in parts. I decided to yank it from the border this afternoon and the stems actually drew blood and raised stinging raw patches on my arms! Not allergic reaction but purely mechanical result of the stuff sticking enough to pull up strips of skin. Mean stuff!!!! Anybody recognize it????

Thanks! Leslie

SOrry I realize Im a little to late, but for future...shoot I only know for photobucket....you use the middle box (Tagline) to embed directly.

If you are on something else, I guess you could copy and paste the URL from your album and post it in the box that says OPTIONAL LINK URL. Then name it whatever you want where its says NAME OF THE LINK. (Not entirely sure on that one tho.)

I think the problem is that I just have the image on my own computer downloaded from the camera -- not anywhere on the internet. Thanks though. Leslie

Can you please take a photograph close up. One leafset filling the pic would be ideal.
Thanks.
If less trouble email me direct w/ the pic at the-paradox at excite dot com.

Is it virginia creeper? I've never had trouble with it sticking or drawing blood. The picture is hard to see detail on the leaves. Virginia creeper has 5 leaves and grows as a ground cover or a climber. It is very vigorous, but quite easy to pull down from fences and trees. Can't help more than that. Good luck.
