What is this plant?
My Bff in Colorado grew this interesting plant. The problem was she did not plant it. Can you identify it?
Unidentified Plant
What the heck is it?
Update 4:00 pm-the plant is an Amaranthus Caudatus or Love-lies-bleeding. The seeds and leaves are edible. Thanks to my dear friend David for the answer!

Whatever it is, she should market it at Haloween – she’d make a killing 😉

Looks like a Purple Pokeberry … I had a lot of them growing around my grape arbor in North Carolina when I lived there … when they flower they look just like this. It’s a possibility but if so …. pull pull pull and stomp it out with Round-Up because once established it is nearly impossible to get rid of.

I checked out pictures of the poke berry and it never had any kind of berries on it. But thanks!

Beschorneria yuccoides? It’s native to Mexico so it could have blown north… I don’t know. The blooms look a little like wisteria. What does the base of the plant look like?

It did not have any kind of green spiky leaves. All I could see was what you see because of all the flowers surrounding it, but there was nothing spiky in there. It almost looked like that bird seed that you buy from the store that is on a stem.

If she didn’t plant it and it grew it a weed. Remember if you plant it and it dies THEN its a plant.

I’m hoping it’s not a weed! I like it. It looks like it belongs on another planet though… You don’t say if you like it or not..!?!
