Swan Plant

A few weeks ago I posted a mystery plant and asked if anyone could identify it for me.

A few people identified it as a Swan Plant and looking through some old photos today I found this shot and I can see how it got the name.

Maybe it is just me, but it does look rather like a swan.

It sure does look like a swan Babs...what a great capture...it is becoming a problem here on the sunny coast......Big Fav.

Great close up. Autumn is so beautiful and diverse.

[PhotoCrazy]

Very interesting, I do see the swan!

[Maggiemae]

This is very good focus and I have to admit - we did grow swan plants but the monarchs decimated them before they got to this stage! fav

[julia]

Very aptly named .. they look great when theres little 'swan' bobbing all over the plant..

[Beryl Lloyd]

What a great name for this plant - great capture and focus Babs ! fav

[Diana]

Such a fabulous close up of this amazing plant. The name is very appropriate.

[Rob Z]

Those seeds have such an incredible silky structure. Wonderful image Babs.

[Wylie]

looks like fine silken hair!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow that's so neat - is it a kind of milkweed?

[Dione Giorgio]

Fantastoc close-up capture. So much detail. Not sure you can go in the tower. I didn't see anybody trying while I was there.

[April Dellow-Cowan]

They look so much like our milkweeds, but they look like a different type of milkweed. Yours does look like a swan.

[Gosia]

Very nice

[Lesley]

Lovely detail and light here.

[Lou Ann]

I of course have never seen anything like this. It is reminiscent of milkweeds. Quite lovely really.

[Peter H]

Yes, it's very swan-like!

[Lynda McG]

How unusual! Just like feathers

[Sarah]

I can see why it is called swan plant. Great shot

[Dianne]

Such great detail.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great details in this, Babs.

[Pat]

Lovely close up, I like the silvery light on the plants hairs.

[Fisher Family]

Super close-up of this lovely plant

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely detail and capture

[Pat Knowles]

I can quite see how it gets it’s name Babs....such soft white...not sure what you would call that but I would want to stroke it!

[gloria jones]

Wonderful textures, details

[Yao RL]

I thought they were cottons.

[Leslie]

Ready to fly

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Like others have said it looks very much like our milkweed with some differences. The biggest being that our milkweed does not look like a swan. Good shot!

[Pyrrhula]

Stunting close up. Fav.

[Lee-Ann]

Wow..an unsual plant..never see in before.

[Milanie]

What marvelous details

[Merrelyn]

Lovely detail. I'm pretty sure that it is a type of milkweed. @olivetreeann

[Babs]

@happysnaps It's the first time I have ever seen it.

I had never seen it before I took these photos of it and I am so glad someone was able to identify it for me.

@koalagardens @creativenature72 @louannwarren @olivetreeann @merrelyn Thanks, yes I believe it is a variety of milkweed. I had never seen it before, so I was glad someone on 365 was able to identify it for me.

[Babs]

@haskar Thanks, but it isn't autumn. I live in Australia and September here is Spring in the southern hemisphere.

Lovely picture! I'm using the "PictureThis-App" on my phone. It works really well (I could even use it for your picture) and if you take the basic version it is free. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/picturethis-plant-identifier/id1252497129
