Day 243 of Wonder

These scrubby little plants have sprung up all over a recently mowed field. I've been told they grow into a bush that has a habit of pointing in different directions, as if showing the way somewhere. The search for their official name has proven fruitless, so if anyone can help out that would be great. Meanwhile, I have the German idea of 'weg' in my mind. Perhaps they point their way to something more specific that a vague place, but for the moment I'm enjoying their wonderful colour and tenacity. I'll write more, should their elusive identity become apparent.
