Yes, Brugie's right -- its an asclepias (butterfly weed) that's gone to seed. And, yes the fuzzy things are attached to the seed. Don't ever open a dried pod in the house LOL -- they go everywhere!!!

You don't have to do anything to make the background go out of focus. Its set on automatic, aperature priority. the f-stop is 2.8 which is why there is limited depth of field (fuzy background). I really love it!

I took this one early this morning. Cut these back about six months ago...they don't want to leave me!
