Re: elinjo's question

I didn't know what it was.  I just describe things to google and before long I find what I'm looking for.

Impressive photo and information.

Beautiful photo Greenfields!   Taps, did you just know what it was, or can you recommend a page where we can find answers to questions like that?

Family Jewels Plant ( Asclepias physocarpa )
A wonderful tender shrub from South Africa with small white flowers tinged with pink which are followed by large inflated seed pods. The soft spined seed pods lend the name "Family Jewels Plant".  Also known as Balloon Cotton Plant and Swan Plant.
