And the leaves! 🌿
I have been through my garders encylopedia with 8000 plants in it and cannot find anything like yours, please go and ask where you got it from,maybe they will remember
Gardeners lol
What a fab plant, love the unusual texture of the flowers looks like red suede 😉 lol - the leaves look like they are from the Begonia family????
Hi @MariaMc it is lovely isnt it?! It looks like its a Celosia, just not sure of the variety yet!
I have just done an image search 😆 cant find it 😟
If it is a celosia the Geisha Series has a wide range of colours but the celosia in my book does not have coloured leaves and the flower head are feathery
Celosia argentea cristata.The flowers are very unusual in the shape and texture. They are similar to a piece of coral. It belongs to the family Amaranthaceae
Thanks @debsm @MariaMc and @kateellery40gmailcom for all your help with this plant! It is now in the encyclopedia and link 🙏🏼 ☺️
Down here in the Caribbean #Jamaica we call it it #cockscomb because it resembles the comb on the rooster's head. Ha ha
I can see the resemblance @Jason! Such a beautiful plant. Do these grow wild in the Caribbean?
No they dont. I can only speak for Jamaica now. I had some years ago but I haven't been growing annuals these days.
