sandyslopes they are indeed the dreaded Creeper! I know you will now be pulling them to protect H. Glad Rags, I know I would.

Yes, they are coming out now! Thanks for the confirmation.

While I love native species, I've declared 2021 the year of the war of the VC. I'm trying awfully hard because it's runnered all under the lawn and into adjoining floral spaces. I'm rupping out ten foot long vining stems. They're everywhere. I've made a morning ritual of going out and removing every leaf I can find every day. I hope they will die by next year.

The cotyledons are the wrong shape for Poison Ivy.

floral, that's good to know. I don't need poison ivy on top of everything else!

dbarron, the struggle is real with Va. Creeper. It grows all over the place here. Good luck getting rid of yours.
