Several years ago, I was driving down a road and saw a stunning plant. I stopped and asked the lady outside what it was and she called her mother outside. The little old lady answered her daughters question in a language unknown to me. The daughter told me that her mother had moved here from either Hungary or Cheqsolvaka ( spelled wrong and I can't remember which country!) The closest her mother could translate the answer was " It's a turkey neck". The plant looks a lot like "Love Lies Bleeding" but the flower is made up of only one long "waddle-like hanging" while the photos of the Love Lies Bleeding looks as though it is many together to make up the flower. My question is: since I have only seen pictures of Love Lies Bleeding plant., are they one and the same? The seeds look like grains of pepper. Sorry this is so long.........thanks for any help....Patt

I think the plant you are talking aboute is Elephant Trunk Amarath, I think I ordered it from Seeds Of Change, a few years ago.
