I can see why it reminds you of a pipe cleaner :0)...nice vibrant color,with interesting texture though...great photos
I don't have any idea of the name either...
Cheers
This flower is from the Celosia family, sometimes referred to as cockscombs or coxcombs. There are many varieties, some growing to heights of 6 feet, some as small as 6 inches. Most Celosia produce a feathery plume, while the coxcomb varieties produce a comb-like feathery flower.
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I love all your pictures, they are really wonderful! I stopped by thru entrecard and I usually just drop and leave on most sites, but I stayed to look at your site. Thanks.
Hi Heather - thank you for visiting again!!!
Hi PK, thank you very much for the hint! There are lots of these variations. I am amazed...
Hi Historylover - this is the best compliment - thank you very much!
