    hello, I am wondering what this plant in my backyard is with the red stems. I live in Cypress, Texas. thank you!

    Answer

    Dear Nyssacoelho, you may have photographed Amaranthus blitum (livid amaranth) or Amaranthus deflexus (large-fruited amaranth), species known for leaves that are indented at the apex. Texas is a long way from my region of expertise, but I suggest you start there with your search for the name of this plant.
