> >A neighbor a couple miles away has beautiful amaranth

Does yellow dock grow where you are?  It is closely related to amaranth and 
makes a magnificient seed head.  It is a perennial.  The leaves are one of 
the 
main sources of rabbit feed for us (high in protein, large, and abundant).  
They are also good people food if picked small (leaves, not the people).  In 
late summer and fall it sends up a big seed stalk with lots of 
seed.<BR><BR><BR>
