Use the "start/stop" button for a slide show.

Thanks for posting a link to our pictures, Vox... glad you liked them...

We have posted a second group of pictures from the International Flower
and Garden Festival at Epcot... you can find them at:

http://www.minandbills.net/disney/tr...4-gallery2.asp

The reason for my post is I need some help identifying a plant/flower in the
second group of pictures.

Can anyone help me identify the red plant/flower shown in picture 29 and
again in picture 114?

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated...

PS - only use the "start/stop" button for a slideshow if you have a
broadband connection... the pictures are large and take a while to load on a
slower connection...

The plant is Amaranthus, sometimes called the summer poinsettia.

It is sold as a summer annual around here (Cincinnati), but is a less known
and underutilized plant.

Thanks for all your help... it answered the question of one of the folks on
a Disney mailing list had about the pictures...
