I do my best to keep my distance. I think I might be one of the lucky ones and not react strongly to the plant. I've wandered quite close to poison ivy for over ten years now, and I haven't gotten a rash once...not that I want to test that by deliberately touching it!

This is my first time seeing the flowers. I hope you were not too close to the plants!
