"Cockscomb Coral Gardens" reads the tag which came with the seedlings. "Similar to Celosia....with twitted crests resembling a rooster's comb". Gail guessed well in response to my previous post!
They may still be tiny but they certainly are vibrant.
Looking forward to watching them change and grow even bigger, although they are rather cute at this stage.

Thanks so much for sharing with us and for stopping by my blog today to say hi. Have a wonderful week.
Man! Your photography is incredible...I love seeing the different flora and fauna in other parts of the world. what may be commonplace to us is assuredly exotic to someone else! :)
First time I've seen an orange coxcomb. It's beautiful! I usually see red and pink around here. Thanks for sharing. Have a fabulous week.

Perfect subject for a macro shot--so much detail to uncover in one flower. Your first photo is just stunning!
Celosias are gorgeous!

Have a great week ahead!
These are pretty and unique. I especially like the pink and yellow together. I've tried to grow Celosia in the past, but was never very successful.
Beautiful color!!!
São lindas e parecem muito com as celosias.
Beijos
What lovely shots of these colorful blooms.
Wonderful! I love the shapes and the colours.
You never fail to amaze me with your clear, stunning closeups and excellent use of DOF. and great backgrounds too. Please don't tell me these were taken with your Lumix too?
Ocean Soul, I had to go and check which photos were taken with which camera as I use both regularly. Only two of these were taken with my Lumix, the red one (taken yesterday in the garden) and the very last. I love both my cameras but somehow the Lumix is special as it it so versatile yet inexpensive.
So beautiful! Have seen the cockscomb several times in blogland, but never in reality!
gorgeous images! :)
Your flowers are beautiful! Cockcombs are so very soft and plush looking. Thanks for the views :)
The orange cockscomb is so luscious it looks almost edible! These are fantastic shots - you have captured the detail and surface qualities so well.
I associate cockscomb with my grandmother. When I used to visit she would show me her red cockscomb in the garden. I think I probably asked to see it every time. I loved looking at it but also touching it. I still love it, but don't see it very often.Thank you for sharing it on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
Wow!!! Those are beautiful! I've never seen anything like it before! Love your photos!
Beautiful. Love the bright fuzziness.
Your photography is amazing beyond amazing. Can anything be more amazing than amazing? hmmmm? But, Yes! I have joined your site as well. I found you via the Blog Hop of and she snapped. Good luck to you in your talent.
amazing macros and great colors :)
Beautiful captures. What divine flowers and such bright, happy colours!
