Anna--
Talk about BIG plants--this Giant purple Amaranth just decided to grow in my small
bed by the front door. It self-seeded from some seed from years ago.
The seeds of this plant are the size of Poppy seeds--or smaller.
It is amazing that something this big can grow from a seed that small!
I had had this same plant here a couple of years ago--but NOT this big
This one just grew ...grew and grew--and grew....I dread t think how many
seedlings there will be coming up next summer!!!!!

1--Here is a picture of ME--5\'7 and long arms--and this \"thing\" was almost 10\' tall

2--Here is the top-fill of a zillion tiny blooms. SO pretty!

3 and 4--Here is the broken off top after the storm. Geez--the stem was almost
like a baseball bat! Anyone want seeds to this next spring--just let me know.
