Might this have anything to do with their plot to burn off the Oil?
Or the Lava?

How about the fact that Artemisia absinthium (wormwood) looks nothing like what the OP is attempting to portray.
The image posted is misleading because it has been cropped from a larger, more detailed image, namely THIS ONE.
Also, the OP failed to provide the full description of the leaves.
The leaves are spirally arranged, greenish-grey above and white below, covered with silky silvery-white trichomes, and bearing minute oil-producing glands; the basal leaves are up to 25 cm long, bipinnate to tripinnate with long petioles, with the cauline leaves (those on the stem) smaller, 5-10 cm long, less divided, and with short petioles; the uppermost leaves can be both simple and sessile (without a petiole).
The key words here are bipinnate and tripinnate, meaning the leaves are subdivided as they extend.
This image better illustrates what I am talking about:
And the BP logo for comparison:

There is absolutely NO SIMILARITIES.
EDIT: Just re-read the OP, it seems he is calling the cropped image a flower. It is not a flower, it is young growth on the plant.
The FLOWER of the woomwood plant looks nothing like the the BP logo (see image above) at all.
In botany, a bud is an undeveloped or embryonic shoot and normally occurs in the axil of a leaf or at the tip of the stem. Once formed, a bud may remain for some time in a dormant condition, or it may form a shoot immediately.

Let's call it a bud, instead of a flower.

Let's not, because that would be lying.
The flowers (or buds) don't grow from the top:
They grow all the way up the stem.
