Poison Ivy?

Quick! Is this an innocent flowering vine or is it my arch nemesis poison ivy? It features leaves of three (let it be!) and a hairy vine (no friend of mine!). Vote in the side bar.

Here are some sites to help you make up your mind: Missouri Department of Conservation and Wikipedia. And also this site about Clematis virginiana which is a poison ivy look-alike.

I've already picked up poison ivy from my yard once before and am no longer interested in any of that tomfoolery.
Click the picture to see this plant up close and personal. Just don't touch it.

You could always have Dave touch it and find out for you ;)
