Here's some fall color TPP spotted on his walk home today. Fall color around here is just about at its peak and the weather is doing its best to make the display short-lived. This display caught my eye and then came the recognition. In general sumacs do have great fall color displays, but you seldom think about this species has having great color, but here you are, Rhus toxicodendron has great fall color even if it gives you the creepy crawlies. OK kids, go on out and collect some nicely colored leaves. Now if you really know your stuff about plant interactions, you'll tell me what tree this vine is growing on. For some reason these two species always have gotten along.
