Every Spring, I look for new poison ivy plants in my backyard, neighborhood and walking trails.
This April 2026, I saw quite a few poison ivy and more poison oak plants. Here are a few photos.
Poison ivy on the ground and in bushes
Here are photos taken in April 2026. The poison ivy plants photographed here were growing on the ground among other plants. Some were growing isolated as well.
Poison ivy on the fence
The poison ivy plants photographed here were growing as creepers. They climb on these fences when winter is out.
These photos were along my walking trails in Fairfax, VA.
Poison oak along with poison ivy
I saw more poison oak plants this year. They were bundled along with the poison ivy plants, mostly on the ground.
You can identify them by the more rounded edges.
My previous blog posts about poison ivy and poison oak
I wrote a few blog posts about poison ivy and poison oak, how to identify them and how to get rid of them. You can read them if interested.

Conclusion
This is my personal blog. I keep taking photos of poison ivy whenever I see any that may be worth sharing. The plants are in different parts of Virginia. If you love poison ivy plants and/or not allergic to them, good for you. If you hate them or have been affected by them, you might find this blog post useful so you know which plants to avoid.
