| Hello! Can anyone identify this plant? Planted a few packets of seeds including a mixed perennial pack. Is this a flower or rogue weed? It's the tallest and hardiest in our little flower garden......not sure if that's a good or bad thing! ;) Thank you in advance from this new gardener.    |

| My thought was Pigweed too. What is a sumpweed? Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost President: Orchid Society of Northern Nevada Webmaster: osnnv.org |

| I'll move this over to the Plant ID Forum where it will get more views and a possible exact ID. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

It looks like an amaranth to me too. Spiny amaranth (Amaranthus spinosus) is another one. (There are several kinds)  Real Gardeners buy at least 10,000 plants in a lifetime having no idea where where they will put any of them when they get home |

Thank you so much for the responses! It sure looks like it might be pigweed. I'll be taking care of that first thing in the morning!  |
