A bit of googling suggests it's either a flower or spinach....

Why do you all think that Spinach flowers are so odd? Spinach is a plant, and when it gets warm out, it bolts making.....flowers.

You all are weird.

And why are you complaining about finally cutting your grass? We did that weeks ago. *razz* WE have mild weather.

Seems to be a variant of the cockscomb plant. I love their flowers, so different. The texture is so unusual.
