One of Germany's most common plants that grow close to acres
is the worm-seed mustard (Erysimum
cheiranthoides). Between May and July, this plant that reaches a
height from up to 60 cm produces yellow flowers. Occasionally
there is a second bloom in September and October.
Shortly after flowering, the worm-seed mustard produces half-ripe and
ripe seeds in his characteristic tetragonal pods.
Besides those seeds the flowers are highly appreciated goodies for
birds if they once got used to their taste.
