You have most likely heard; "Leaves of three, let them be".  Well here are the leaves of three.  You can call it Poison Oak or Poison Ivy, it's all the same.  If you touch this plant, brush it against your clothes or shoes and then touch your shoes you have gotten the oil on you and that's the thing that can make you itch.  People have been known to sit under a plant and get the oil on them.  Some people are not effected by the oil and some can just get near and break out.  Be careful around leaves of three.  This plant actually has blooms from May through July as you can see if you look real close.
