2) We have this plant in VN and it is call ChomChom...well it looks like it anyways. :-)
Thanks for the visit. I think I know what the second one is. I lived in Australia for a few years I dont know what the scientific name is but the locals called it a Bottle Brush shrub. Thanks for sharing! : )
A 2 Z, It's actually not a bottlebrush. It looks like it but it is different. I'll post the answer tomorrow.
Angela, It is a pie but not pumpkin. I love pumpkin pie :)
Icy, It is a pie filling but not pumpkin. It resembles the chenille but isn't.
2- I also thought it was a bottlebrush.

Jean and Diane you are correct on the first one. It's a macro of sweet potato pie.
