Does anyone know what this is? The plant itself is 6-7' tall. At the base it has some
corklike bark but most of the plant has green supple stalks that bleed milk when u cut them.
The leaves have a velvet like feel. Every year around june it produces these things that
look like air filled leaves.As they dry they open. Inside are seeds and fine silk. It also
has another "fruit" thing on it that is hollow and has a feel of a ping pong ball but
thinner like dried tissue paper. I dont know much about plants so forgive my description!

I have more pictures if u need

Thank you!!!
