Poison Ivy

I hesitated to upload this due to its similarity in shape to a certain virus. This is only mildly toxic. In case you are wondering, the pattern behind it is crossed wire fencing out of focus (very!).

What a great find. It is probably less deadly than the virus.

Stunning macro, This looks indeed like a virus.

Beautiful shot of this unusual looking plant, yes it does have a similarity ;-)

Beautiful ; your narrative reminded me of something my oncologist told me , the most dangerous tumors have the most wonderful shapes and brilliant colours...

[John Falconer]

Great shot. Nice focussing too.

Interesting plant - what is it? Is this the flower or the seed pods?
