Can Poison Ivy flowers be or imitate a "Cala Lily"? Is it considered a liliaceae?

Weeding my yard and found this lily %26quot;cala looking%26quot;all green and black spotted but the leaves beside the lilies were threesomes just the same size and exactly like the poison Ivy leaves. Can poison Ivy blossom as a lily?

Can Poison Ivy flowers be or imitate a %26quot;Cala Lily%26quot;? Is it considered a liliaceae?
Poison ivy most certainly does flower. This is the right time of year for it to do so.





But the flowers are very small in inconspicuous clusters and are well hidden among the leaves. They are pale green with pink-yellowish stamens. They are NOT shaped like a calla lily, although there are some arums that have similar colors as the poison ivy flower. Most arum flowers are much larger than the poison-ivy flower.
Reply:Poison ivy looks very different than callas:

Reply:Poison ivy sure does have flowers and berries (that birds, squirrels and deer eat). Check the site below to see if this looks like what you are seeing, but it doesn%26#039;t SOUND like poison ivy.
