To everyone
I have a plant, I believe it to be a wild flower. the one I have is now about 3 ft. tall, the leaves have 5 points, at the very base of the stem, and outward for about 1" the color is pinkish-orange, the mature leaves are 3 1/2" long with no color. Only the new leaves have the pinkish-orange color to them. At the very end of the stem is a cluster of little green balls , the mature one being approximatly 3/16" in diamater.
On the smaller of the 3 plants, at first glance I thought the plant was a poinsettia, but realized they are not. The leaves also remind me of a Holly leaf, maybe. the leaves are too small for a poinsettia.
Can someone help me to identify this plant? I don't know how to treat it. They seem to be lots of them around here. I believe the little balls are seed and the birds and wind scatter them everywhere.

hope to hear from someone soon
