Many of the varieties of Celosia, Cristata type, have an attractively convoluted flower head which is also sometimes compared to coral, cauliflower, or cockscombs. The head, called an inflorescence, is really many tightly packed tiny flowers. A cut stem and flowerhead will retain its shape, but not its vibrant color, in the dried state. This variety, Cramer’s Lemon-Lime, fits in with the current quest in the horticulture world to develop green(ish) flowers for arrangements, but there are other delicate shades as well. It’s easy to start from seed indoors and then transplant into the garden.
