Celosia You may be forgiven for thinking this is a wooly mitten stuck in the garden but it is in fact, (as far as I can ascertain), a Celosia flower of the Amaranth family. A strange looking but beautiful flower which sports a flat profile along with it's stalk. Any further info on these from other members would be appreciated Bulgaria,Celosia argentea,amaranth,celosia,flower,red Click/tap to enlarge
