NOW FEATURED!
yup its a amaranth called fat spike
One of my flower books notes that green amaranth is an alien plant that grows by roadsides,and in fields and waste ground from South Canada and New England south. This explains why I've never seen it since I'm not in that area.
The seeds for the plant could have been on the shoes or clothing of someone who traversed the plant's native area and then unwittingly spread the seeds while visiting California.
Also, if a plant or its flower is attractive, people who don't know much about the plant can take a plant or its seeds and transplant it elsewhere. In this scenario, it's likely the plant has no or few enemies that would limit the plant's growth. This would enable it to spread because it has no or few enemies in its new home.
