Along a busy sidewalk in a busy Washington, DC suburb you will find a large patch of poison ivy. It's probably about 30' long and 5 to 10' deep. It looked like a large vine was knocked out of a tree (perhaps during construction?) and happily took root on the ground. Yikes - this plant is right at the sidewalk. Picture taken mid-May in USDA zone 6 (mid-Atlantic).
