nectarine Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I bought some wild flower seeds last year (from Lidl, I think) and threw them on a flower bed and have some interesting flowers, including these ones (pictured). They have very long dangly red fronds, I've googled a search but cannot find anything that looks like them and have never seen them before. Can anybody enlighten me please? Many thanks[URL=http://s298.photobucket.com/user/gorgeousfluffpot/media/DSC05223.jpg.html][IMG]http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm251/gorgeousfluffpot/DSC05223.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://s298.photobucket.com/user/gorgeousfluffpot/media/DSC05222.jpg.html][IMG]http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm251/gorgeousfluffpot/DSC05222.jpg[/IMG][/URL]Aaarggh! Can see the picture in 'preview' but when I post it, then it's gobbledygook code. There is a picture there! Somewhere! Forum boffins ... how do I correct this so the photo shows, please?.

nectarine Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thank you!!! Yes it is! Still not sure why the link didn't work as I followed every instruction in the 'How To' on the forum support section. But thanks again, it's a lovely plant that's thriving very well. All from some Lidl wild flower seeds which I shall certainly buy again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I've had the cultvated version of this in the garden - it self-seeds quite happily for several years.[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Bouillaguet/Garden%20and%20Nature/Amaranthus3withkitten.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nectarine Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 that's pretty much what it looks like. Shame my photo couldn't open, but my one has the red fronds hanging from the end of the stem, I think the longest is about 1½ feet long, very unusual too.[URL=http://s298.photobucket.com/user/gorgeousfluffpot/media/DSC05223.jpg.html][IMG]http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm251/gorgeousfluffpot/DSC05223.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
