Saw these at a local theme park...

I saw these at a local theme park and thought they looked really pretty and kind of exotic. Where they're being grown locally, I figured it'd be cool to see if I can find them and grow them at home. Any ideas what they are?

Gomphrena and amaranthus tricolor? I can't see them real good tho.

They are both annuals for us. I have grown Gomphrena aka globe amaranth from seed they did well. Good luck

Oh cool! I was really hoping someone knew what they were. And sorry for the crummy phone pics.
Annuals?! I'm too lazy for annuals! haha

Too lazy? LOL. They are both self-seeding annuals so they always come back from seeds.

Haha, touche. I never thought about the seeding. I figured they'd have to be purchased and planted every year. Duh on my part. Maybe I'll look in to these afterall.
