Default What is this plant????

...

Any help would be great.
Does anyone know if this is a plant, a weed or whatever.
It came out of a pot I bought at a yard sale with a frangipani in.
It grows pretty quick. I have no idea what it is.
I can not find a picture of it anywhere.
Thanks.


it looks a lot like love-lies-bleeding, from what i recall - you might want
to check a picture of that to cross-check.

failing that, the tops resemble amaranth (although the leaves don't seem to)
but it might be in the family.

having consulted my elderly copy of "100 beautiful flowers" (not all of
which actually are ;-) love-lies-bleeding is itself in the amaranth
(amaranthus) family! so i'd say for sure it's some type of amaranth you've
got there.
