June 10, 2012 -- love-lies-bleeding

This is just a pretty piece of love-lies-bleeding. I picked it today (reluctantly) for a friend who needs it for an arranging demo tomorrow. I was reluctant to pick it only because it will get more and more elongate (and droopy) as it continues to mature. This isn't the usual reddish version of this Amaranth; it's sort of coral-colored, although it looks brown in the photo. My favorite is the green version, which is doing less well in my garden this year, but I gave it a dose of liquid fertilizer today, so it may show up in the windowsill before the summer is over.
