sooby said:Rita, that's Virginia creeper because it has five leaflets. Boston ivy either has three leaflets or a single leaf with three lobes. Both are Parthenocissus though (P. quinquefolia versus P. tricuspidata).

Oh yes, now I realize you are of course right. Don't know what I was thinking calling it Boston Ivy. The Virginia Creeper grows on the back of my neighbors garage.
