Virginia Creeper

Often mistaken in the United States as Poison Ivy which has clumps of three leaves, Virginia Creeper has five.  There are rhymes to help identify the two plants:

"Leaves of three, let it be"

"One, two, three, four, five - allow this plant to thrive".

In Britain we thankfully do not have this problem, since Poison Ivy does not grow here either in gardens or in the wild.
