One visit to Epcot earlier this year, there was fluffy cotton wool everywhere around a tree which was covered in spikes which we later learned was a Silk Floss Tree named because of the look of the opened seed pods. Margaret collected a few seeds, planted them here, and they have begun to grow!
No idea how quick they grow or what weather they like – but if they grow like the ones at Epcot, they won’t stay on the kitchen counter for long!

Looks greenish from this angle, but it’s actually clear to the bottom …
