basic botany

Watching tonight's Rules of Engagement.

This is a spruce sapling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Picea_glauca_sapling_Kluane_NP.jpg
spruce cones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Picea_mariana_cones_Ontario.jpg

This is poison ivy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Toxicodendron_radicans.jpg
in flower (it's dioecious, not sure if this is male or female): http://www.altnature.com/Poison_ivy/poisonivyflower.htm

Note that one is a needled conifer tree and the other a broad-leafed vine.

Just for future reference.
