After 30 years, I've come across this plant at a night bazaar.

 

Has any one seen this plant before and what is the name ?

The florist told me the name in dialect, but I don't think I've remembered it.

 

The 'fur' looks and feels like human hair and apparently has healing properties against cuts and open wounds.

 

You can just pull the 'hair' and it comes off like cotton candy.

 

The plant I bought looks like a lion.

 

Not sure if it is a lucky plant tho. So far didn't strike any lottery.

I'm not really into lucky plant stuff, just that I've not seen this plant for a long time.

 

And since I like indoor plants, I'd thot just to try to see how this plant will grow.

 

Besides, it's going to be a conversation piece...whether nice or not.

I suspect the plant I bought is from a family of cactus.

Hi; the plant looks interesting wink.gif Wonder where can I get one of this?

 

I bought it during one of those travelling pasar malam along Sin Ming Ave.

 

the hair actually is very soft to touch, but also dry.

 

If I remember well, there is also a similar cactus that has got ;white; fluffy hair, but only covers the top of the cactus.

How often do you need to water it? how much did you pay for it?

Hmmmm... really looks like you just stuff a guinea pig in that pot [laugh].
