Gomphrena globosa

Globe Amaranth 'Electric Pink'
Happy Thanksgiving all!

So pretty perfect for Thanksgiving!

Beautiful banner Cal!

Those are such a beautiful shade of pink, wonderful banner, Cal!

Thank you everyone!
I know most will be busy with family,
so I don't expect many replies, but hope you will
check this amazing & heartwarming video.

I love Gomph's! They last so long in the garden, and you can use them for dried arrangements. That color is fetching too!

I was hoping they were perennial (I always have to look up the spelling! ), but they're an annual.
But still blooming after at least a month.
I've been saving the seeds, though not sure how viable they are.
Will try to get them to establish.

BTW, I got them at Home Depot.

Just bought seeds at Amazon for a purple & white mix Outsidepride Globe Amaranth 1000 Seeds, and Outsidepride Yellow Craspedia Globosa Billy Button or Drumstick 1000 Seeds. Should make a nice combo.

Beautiful banner!

Lovely banner. I can personally attest that, as @slowcala says, these make great dried flowers. They mix well in the garden, and dried, with celosia, too.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, Cal.

Thank you, Elizabeth!
We did....just stayed home with my DW, Ginger.

Cal ~ Just beautiful! You have inspired me to sow some in spring.

Thanks, Evelyn! Was just thinking of you today, and hoping you had
a Happy Birthday! (or is it coming up?), and are warm & snug up
there in the high country of Northern California.

Haha, Cal! Don't remind me that I turned 81! It's almost too much to bear.

But we're still young at heart.
