(142) "Cotton-bush" 8/6/10
This plant has many common names, one being Balloon Cotton-bush. Very nice flowers almost resembling a milkweed. The fruits are really cool and where the "Balloon" part of the name comes from. Hope to revisit this group in the next week or so to see if I can get some shots of the fruit.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments on yesterday's monarch. Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!
