The attractive Celosia plant from the Amaranth family goes by the common names of woolflowers, cockscomb flower and “Flamingo Feather.”While the brilliant reds are by far the most popular color, Celosia, or Cockscomb, also come in yellow, orange, crimson, rose, and purple flowers. Celosia are wonderful for bouquets, fresh or dried. To dry these flowers, hang them upside down in a cool dark, and dry place, for about two months. They have unusual flowers that can bloom up to 10 weeks. When many celosia flower blooms are next to each other. They collectively resemble fire, which is why their name Celosia, which means burning in Greek was chosen. Celosia seems like an exotic flower, but it’s not difficult to grow in the home garden. It makes a striking accent to other flowers in the garden. Dry it in the fall for use in dried arrangements.
