As I was strolling through a garden center last week I spotted this flower I had never seen before. It is an annual but I love it.
The name is Amaranthus and it is ideal for backgrounds, it grows 18 to 24" tall.
My coneflowers are blooming nicely this week also.
Linking with Rednesday and Outdoor Wednesday.

That is an unusual plant! Thanks for sharing!
Oh! I love your Amaranthus, I've never seen one before. Thank you so much for introducing it to me. I adore cone flowers and keep meaning to get some - butterflies love them, I think?
Happy Rednesday!
What a lovely blog!
I missed ABC Wednesday (you have already moved on..;) but my father used to be stationed at Ft Leavenworth and Ft Leonardwood, and we would go to KC to see the Christmas lights. I think it was Overland Park? I didn't know about the tunnels!

ABC Wednesday
One thing we share in common, pretty flowers in our yards.
Dear Friend,
I have learned something new today. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Cone flowers are sooo my favorite. Just love them. I need to plant some.
I didn't know about this new one, either. Very pretty.
I like the how the red and yellow blend into the green, pretty flower
you have a lovely garden :)
That is beautiful, even I have not seen them before.
The Amaranthus is fun. Love finding a new plant.
I will have to visit the nursery and look for this amaranthus. I have never heard of it before. I must add one to my garden.
Hi Ann,
Fantastic, FUN new plant... so unusual! Love the Cone Flowers :-)
Hugs,
Bella
I like this plant! It is very unique!
Lovely flowers!
I planted some amaranthus a few days ago. Let's hope they will grow and bloom;o)
