Nope, not attached to anything else; the small red branches (and any other tiny branches) are what fell from the birch it's growing under.

Those are catkins on the ground around it and it's also growing behind a viburnum bush/tree, and there are I believe mallow that are growing back near there as well. The width of each branch is 3/8 to 1/4 inches, it's only just started growing so no flowers yet if any, it was about 4 to 5 inches tall yesterday but today it 6 inches and has sprouted more fronds (?). The undersides appear flat, went out earlier today to see better and have included more pics. I've never seen anything like it, the yard was left unattended for quite a few years before I bought it so, there's a lot of wild growth popping up.

Thank you
