It’s very fancy.

A little bit of Carnivale in my backyard.

I have no idea what it is.  I think it came in a packet of Fedco mixed salad greens, but, of course, it could have been dropped from the heavens by a tropical bird.

Something like this:

Compared to the cabbages and the lettuces it looks like the guest who didn’t get the news the fancy dress requirement for the party had been canceled.  Bridget Jones at the garden party in a Bunny outfit. I can’t bear to pull it up. It will just have to stand there all gorgeous until frost and I’d love to know what it is.

Any help?

Identified!: Amaranthus tricolor, Early Splendor possibly
