I never seem to run out of strange plants to photograph. Quoting from GardeningKnowHow.com,
Like all members of the milkweed family, balloon plant (Gomphocarpus physocarpus) is one of the best plants for attracting monarch butterflies. This unique shrub, which reaches heights of 4 to 6 feet (1-2 m.), is also known by a long list of alternate names including balloon cotton bush, family jewels, Oscar milkweed, goose plant, and swan plant to name just a few.
I sometimes hesitate to touch an unfamiliar plant because some plants are not friendly but the spines on these were not hard but might be when the pods dried out.
