Native to Africa, America and Asia. Cockscomb flowers are also known as Wool Flowers or Brain Celosia, suggestive of a highly colored brain. The flowers belong to the amaranth family, Amaranthaceae. Cockscomb blooms with a compacted crested head 2-5 inches across, on leafy stems that are 12-28 inches long. The flower's name is suggestive of a rooster's comb. The Cockscomb flower blooms from late summer through late fall. The Celosia plant is an annual dicotyledon.

My grandmother had that growing all around our place growing up. Heck, she grew everything, including an ornamental from the hemp family that had friends thinking I had the coolest old grandmother around.
