Chenille Plant; Acalypha hispida

Seeing red fuzzy caterpillars in your garden?  Look again, it's more likely the blooms of your Chenille Plant.  Some say it looks like red-hot cattails.  The one in my photo is only 2 months old.  Hopefully, this year it will begin to mature, and look like the one in the link!  LOL
