Pink Celosia

Pink Fuzzy


These are not my flowers I'm sorry to say, but I found these at a local store. They were a show stopper for anyone who fancied flowers or looking for some colors to brighten up the day.

Pink Celosia


They are called Celosia according to the tag, come in different variety of colors such as red, orange, white, cream, yellow, pink and maroon. They are annual flowers, and could grow up to 36 inches in height. Celosia prefers well-drained soil in full sun, and is very drought tolerant.

Celosia flowers are great to use as cutting flowers and long last also. They are perfect to use as dried flowers in a bouquet. Celosia is known to be easy to plant for indoor as well as outdoor, and relatively pest/disease free. Have a great weekend...

Excellent shots!
The pink is very vivid and I like the varigated leaves as well.
These sure would brighten up your day. :)

A friend of mine gave celosia seeds to me and can't wait to plant it next year and see how it looks. Happy Friday!

lovely vibrant colour! I like that they are drought tolerant, they would have a place in my garden.

These flowers are a beautiful choice to share. I have always loved the way you find nature, very similar to the way I do it. Even though you live in the city, you are able to find nature all around you.

such unusual flower. I would like some of that in my backyard.

Very pretty... they can't be used as dry flowers? No?

Anne Lyken-Garner October 30, 2011 9:13 AM  

I would definitely love to have these. They're stunning in appearance and colour.

That pink Celosia is really nice, we have also the yellow and red as well as the big cockscomb. I posted them before the last one, but all of them have different characters. And they also sometimes invade areas here in the tropics because of their so plenty seeds.
