Virginia Creeper


This is Parthenocissus quinquefolia. I just call it Virginia Creeper. It's all over my yard. Apparently my Hooman doesn't mind this, although it looks like Poison Oak which is a no-no for Little Dog to play in. My Hooman said that I would see little flowers followed by berries on this soon. But I am not allowed to eat them. Why not? Birds eat them and Native Americans used the plant as an herbal remedy for lockjaw and other icky Hooman issues. But no, Little Dog doesn't get to eat it....how rude.
