#2882 - Celosia spicata - Flamingo Feather Flower

One of a genus of Amaranths native to tropical Africa, SE Asia, and the Americas, named from the Greek for 'burning', after the luridly coloured flower heads. Some cultivars commonly grow into fasciate mutations, as here, adding to their visual appeal if you like your plants looking particularly alien.

Other common names include woolflower, or if fasciated, cockscombs. In Swahili they're known as mfungu, and one edible species is called Lagos Spinach or soko yokoto, meaning "make husbands fat and happy" in Nigeria.

Kerala, India.
