2 years ago, I ordered a packet of Amaranthus 'Flamingo Feather' from Baker Creek Seeds. None of the seeds grew the flamingo feather. The packet was heavily contaminated with other seeds, including this one. ?Perhaps a wildflower or 'weed' in Missouri (the location of Baker Creek seed company)? I like it, so I have kept it----even though I had to pluck well over a hundred of self sown plants this year in this bed. And the hummingbirds (as seen in the first pic which I took just this morning) also love it! What is this lovely, albeit prolific self sowing, plant?

Thanks
