John Dillinger's favorite color until the end of course. Very very pretty.
Good morning Sharon Lee. I love these plants and haven't seen one in my neck of the woods.
Sharon,
What a lovely amaranth plant that is, and we wish you a wonderful Wednesday! A

Yes, I was going to try to figure it out, thanks. Now I don't have to worry about it. Ha.
thanks for sharing the name, A...
Amaranth by any other name...haha. Of course Ron and Alexandra Seigel (Alexandra) would know it. It drapes so beautifully!!
Now that is awesome for sure! I love how those blooms are growing, I have never seen anything like it. I wish I could grow one of those at my house!
Hi Sharon, thank you for sharing this one - it is so pretty. I think you can eat the leaves for salad, too?
Hello Barbara Todaro -I had never seen one either. Very unique. I didn't know the name until Ron and Alexandra Seigel mentioned it.
James Dray -According to what I read it is an annual (Amaranthus-Loves lie bleeding)that you can grow from seeds.
Michael Jacobs -Thanks to Ron and Alexandra your wait is over.

Joe Pryor -It is a pretty shade. I like all deep shades of color.
Sheila Anderson -I hadn't either and it is great you can grow them from seed.
Ron and Alexandra Seigel -Thank you so much for identifying this plant. I hadn't a clue. Happy Weds to you and Ron
Kathy Streib -I am not sure but this might have been on my trip to Fla. I need to keep better track of where I take my pics especially when I start traveling.
Brian England -Buy some seeds and give it a try.

Well isn't that just cool? Glad Alexandra gave it a name.
Happy Wednesday to you. D
Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD -I thought it was too. Had never seen one before and forgot to see if it had a name but thanks to Alexandra we now know what it is. Happy Weds to you as well.
Hi Sharon - I think we have one of these in our backyard. Kind of fussy, right?

I was looking at that plant and wondering whether those red things were thin red chili peppers. I'm glad that Ron and Alexandra labeled it for us.

Anna Banana Kruchten,CRS,CRB,GRI That would be awesome. They are supposed to be moderately difficult to grow so it would be great if they grew in your area.
Myrl Jeffcoat -They do resemble a red pepper in their shape. I am happy to know what they are.

I knew it was a Amaranth plant ... NOT. Where do you find these things?? Actually I first thought it was red hot chili peppers....

Gary Woltal -Well I didn't know what is was either as I didn't remember to see if it had a name on it. I am trying to remember where I took it. Might have been in PA when I went to the gardens there. I think the chili pepper thought was a good one.
I've never seen one and I've never heard of it. Certainly is gorgeous though and I would love to have it in my yard!
Sharon Tara -As you read most of us didn't know what it was including me. Now you could always try growing them from seed.
