        Really happy to help, for once! I usually don't have high hopes when you can't find the ID hehe.

        Anyways, I used the PlantNet mobile app and took a photo of your photo on screen. 9 times out of 10 this leads to poor or no matches, but this time it has a 2 star match (out of 5). Sounds low, but usually it's like 0.1 out of 5. So it simply gave me the ID. I then searched for reference photos for that ID in Google Images and found just this one in the wooly state.
