Here is another meadow miniature which requires you bend way down to see it. It is oriental lady's thumb
(Persicaria posumbu). Its other names include Asiatic smartweed, bristled knotweed, bunchy knotweed, and long-bristled smartweed. Those without imagination may call it a weed. It is a non native Asian annual.
