What is it?

Jewel Weed or Touch Me Not

Poison Ivy

Look at the pic below. Poison Ivy! Yike! This is the time of year when it grows, but don't freak out tooooo much! On the right is a nice, translucent, looking plant that can grow really tall! It is called Jewel Weed or Touch Me Not. It is the Poison Ivy's cure, and they both grow by each other. The leaves on the Jewel Weed and the stems are very juicy on the inside, and that watery substance can be rubbed on the itching rash and it is supposed to dry up after a couple days, with fresh plant juice placed on rash every day. The Jewel Weed or Touch Me Not also grows little orange flowers that look like Orchids with little speckles on it. And when the time is right little seed pods come out and they get so fat that when you touch it it will POP and when that happens the seed will spread and make more plants! That is why it is called Touch Me Not!
