Such a wanton, pretty plant. I’ve always loved the amaranth, in fact it was one of my secretforestelfprincess names when I was a wee, gangly tree-jumpin’ waif in the northwoods of Maine.
Sometimes it’s tall, gorgeous spikes festoon my paintings with their brilliant, voluptous atmosphere of devotion, adoration and abundance.
It’s even edible!
