untitled



I saw this plant in Chile last January, I don't know what it is and I hope somebody will tell me its name in the comments (click to enlarge).

We lost a dear friend in Chicago yesterday. A heart attack took him away from us at age 55... I was the maid of honor in their wedding 28 years ago.

Updated to thank you all for the kind comments ...

    I thought the plant was a cotton tree.

    Sorry about your friend. He was still young.

    Mmmmmm, that heart attack at 55 is scary!!! My condolences Mar. I have no idea what the plant is...at first glance I thought maybe some sort of pampas grass then, nope, that's not it. Looks like this is the seed and perhaps the flowering itself is pink? I see a small area of pink behind it all...its this seeds and the pink flower?

    I don't know your plant -- I was thinking it MUST be called the Dust Bunny Plant.

    I am so sorry to hear about your friend. You and his family are in my prayers... that is just sad. 55 is way too young.

    Oh Mar, I'm so sorry about your friend! My condolences!

    I tried to look it up, but I can't seem to find it? But I thought we used to have those in our garden, but I'm not sure.
