Plant: Poison oak.........

Poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum) grows luxuriantly in wilderness of South California......
The green shrub attains yellow, red, pink, purple hues in autumn.......which looks striking against the grey-green chaparral flora......





However, its important to know that its a dangerous allergenic plant.....If the leaves rub against human skin, it creates blisters and inflammations........
Eradication of the nuisance plant is tough as well.........as burning releases the harmful essential oil..so, it should be avoided..
