Anyone else obsessed with amaranth?

I've grown amaranth in my garden for years and every time I'm just blown away by how stunningly gorgeous they are. The pink variety is called Love Lies Bleeding and there are a few golden giants in the back right. For the record, these are almost 8 feet tall.

I have some tomatoes that got a little chaotic this year and they are using it as a support, which I just think is cute (they're friends).

    I’ve only really seen/heard about it in the last couple of weeks but I love it. It looks amazing so I’m gonna grow some next year I think.

    Mine never survives the bugs but I try every year 😢

    Yessssss also did you know they preserve so well and keep their color? They will stay so pretty (not the leaves) and you can have flowers year round

    One of my favorite plants, but the ground hogs love more than me and I lost 7 plants while at work to them today…. Just uprooted them because they were destroyed.

    Ok I literally thought this was a made up vegetable from stardew valley. I’m gonna have to check it out!

    My wife planted some a couple of years ago and it comes back each season taller than ever. We call them our truffula trees (the lorax)

    I’ll need to see if I can grow them here, they’re pretty!

    I’m growing my first one this year. It’s been fun watching it grow and develop. It certainly has a presence.

    Yes!! It’s so beautiful and I love all the different names. My friend is growing Joseph’s Coat and it’s so gorgeous. I got seeds from her to grow next year.

    The one I have has burgundy leaves too! So pretty. A few tiny volunteers came up in my pepper pots and made like 8 inch tall stalks of nothing but the flowers/grains and they are gorgeous in bouquets
