Plume Celosia

I am impressed at how fat the plumes are getting on my Celosia.  This is them today.  I have 6 of them growing all in a row.

Plum Celosia Flower

I have some annual flowers of the plum type celosia flower, the red is particular pretty.  It rained pretty hard last night so all the flowers had some dirt kicked up on them.  I can see that there are some weeds in this picture, the weeding is never done!  I also see that the early leaves are sun burned, I will need to prune the leaves soon.

Can you say yellow Daisy. This Award Winner daisy plant has outdone itself in the garden, I could not be happier with this particular plant.

You can see the purple Celosia behind the daisys. This daisy is ONE plant.

Purple Celosia

I do not know the variety of this particular Celosia. I bought it in a small pot from my local Stop & Shop, it did not have a stick in the pot to identify the variety. I promptly put this gem in my garden and all it has done is grow and grow and grow. This flower has been the mainstay of my Summer flower garden, quite a showpiece. If anyone knows the name, please do share with me.

Garden Pictures

Since my squash plants have all died from too much rain this Summer, I thought I would share some of my garden flowers with you. My good friend from Kansas sent me some flower seeds from her garden from an heirloom Celosia plant. The seeds germinated and have grown slowly but steadly and this is where the flowers are now. The flower heads are just now starting to grow, see the red on top of the flowers, that is the flower head which will get quite large, but here are a few pictures of the Celosia. The yellow flowers behind are my planted from seed Black Eyed Susans.

Here is another view of the flowers
