I had a bunch of flowers given to me today and this flower was in the bunch, quite large, thick woody colour stem, most unusually,
any ideas what it is,
thank you

celosia argentea cristata?

Thank you for that, what a beautiful plant,

thanks again

Cockscomb to the uneducated !   I think it can be used for winemaking!    :o    Cheers,   Tony.
