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 ...

  4. 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?
