Can you guess what plant this is? It is the only one I have ever seen hereabouts. In one of my quick trips to the grocer's on foot this grabbed my attention. It was towering over me from a vacant lot. Impossible to miss because it was bursting with fluffy white fiber from what looked like capsules where flowers used to be.
Sorry that the photo is merely a silhouette. It was taken under the harsh afternoon summer sun. But I love it still. I hope to capture a much better image when I pass that way again.
Cotton is it.
