Fantastic macro detail and a lovely, dynamic image. I don't recall seeing any specimens when visiting PA. Or perhaps if not in flower, not being educated as to leaf shape etc. Posted 6 years ago

  Thanks! This one is on my property. We had a couple of visitors who suggested we soak the berries in water to make "Rhus juice," which is lovely in gin.
  
  To be honest, I'm not certain I'd recognize it without the "horns" either. Posted 6 years ago
