When I was a kid these where both weird, wonderful and lots of fun when throwing them at friends - especially at girls with long hair  ;D   
These needs more time to become "sticky" enough for that.

Weird and wonderful enough for this theme. Haven't nailed the species yet, but probably ordinary.

That looks unique for sure.  I like the way you arrange them!

Looks like Spiraea cantoniensis which can be commonly seen here in Tokyo.

Bingo! I agree, my flower looks like Spiraea cantoniensis. Must have been planted by the previous homeowner. We bought the house twenty years ago, why now does it make an appearance? One of life's mysteries...

Thanks Akira.

This looks like some variety of the wild onion family. There are similar plants here.
