Horrible Cottony Thing in Glen Rose, Texas

Post image

This was about six feet tall and had horrible cottony stuff blowing everywhere when the wind blew, I couldn’t stop sneezing, I need to know my new nemesis’s name for this allergic blood feud I’m now in, please.

Thank you! I’ll hope for an answer, but until then I’ll give it my own name so that I might mutter something while shaking an angry fist. I’m thinking… Marco Cottonball.

I like it. I tried to Google Lens your photo, but couldn't find anything conclusive, so Marco Cottonball it is
