Red Celosia July 22, 2022

 This comes back from seed every year in the Vegetable Garden.  I spread some of the seed in the Rose Garden last fall, but it has been so dry that it did not germinate well although I do have some plants in there.  The flower heads are highly variable, all sorts of sizes and shapes.  The best ones are in the first picture.  I think if I bought seeds, the first season the flowers would all look like this the first year, but after that it would be a free for all.  One downfall of celosia is that nematodes love it.  Soon it will get weak and sickly-looking because of root knot nematodes.  But it's pretty today!
