I find many lovely wild plants along my driveway.

This one is especially interesting in the fall.

During most of the year it is a nondescript, wiry, open shrub.

Its only distinctive feature while not in bloom is that its stems look like green wire.

It turns into a marvel in the September when its seed pods ripen.

They burst open to expose the orange-red seeds inside.

It is also called American strawberry bush, but do not eat the seeds they are poisonous.

Its scientific name is Euonymus americanus. 

Wonderful weed!
