Poison ivy is, admittedly, not a popular plant with most people. For those highly allergic to the oil the leaves and vines exude, it can seem downright evil. Yet the deer seem to enjoy it from time to time. And if you can find a spot where the leaves aren’t too dense, on a day the wind isn’t blowing too much (so that a leaf doesn’t brush against your hand), sometime in mid-spring you might discover its lovely greenish-white blossoms with brilliant orange centers, each a couple of millimeters across, hidden beneath the toxic foliage.
