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.

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.
