Beautiful flowers. I grew once these plants and before flowering
started my mother-in-law cut it very thinly thinking that it is the
Laal maath (Amaranthus) which we use as vegetable. After all the
cuttings she realised her mistake ! In the next time I was
successful in having it produce flowers. I have posted the flowers
once in eflora.

Thank you Mani-ji.
As you say that the saplings of this one resemble the Amaranthus viridis or that of A. gangeticus. We call the latter as LAL-SHAK (shak = leafy vegetable) in Bengali.
And with this I also thank Ushadi, Madam, once again, for my previous message appears to have missed the post somehow.
Regards,
Surajit Koley
