Celosia Pink Flamingo Feather flowers. These bloom in late summer in Florida; before that they have lovely variegated green and deep purple foilage. Easy to grow annual! Self-sows

This is a tall Celosia! It gets about 40 inches tall here, in full sun.
Seedling id of Celosia, Pink Flamingo Feather. Very small seedlings. Grow in full sun or provide plenty of light if starting indoors to keep from getting spindly.
about 2 m in height in my garden

FlamingoFlowers (celosia argentea). They are easy to grow and maintain, but they do spread easily.
