Very strange-looking, but I like it nonetheless. Totally new to me. Thanks.
Thank you very much QWMom. For help identifying this plant. regards
Wow! Very cool looking plant!! :) I don't know what kind of plants are in your area of the world but this looks to me like something that might be in the Matalea genus. Maybe you should check it out to see if anything looks right to you?
