Celosia (maybe)
« on: September 08, 2014, 19:40:03 »
Went to Morrisons today and saw this plant in a pot, it was labelled Celosia.  It likes very similar to the plant/weed that is coming up everywhere on my allotment and growing tall.  Everyone likes it and it is pretty but it seeds everywhere.  I have been trying to find out what it is, shame I didn't take my camera today but it certainly looks like Celosia, but mine are taller and better.  Maybe I should sell it, as everyday I dig up small plants for the compost but the 4 or 5 I have kept do look pretty.  Anyone any ideas, photos tomorrow. I was thinking of bringing some home for the garden but maybe that may be a big mistake.

This is the flower that is growing wild at my allotment. Is it Celosia, looks a bit tall.

What a beauty, looks like Amaranth to me, seeds get everywhere but the finches like them.
