I have this plant at home with coloured leaves and exactly the same soaking pink flowers. I have just posted image of leaves here<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/SNFbXaY14rQ> . Last year leaves were more of pink. This year leaves are green+ pink. I had noticed that the part of leaves which were in sun was more pink and the parts in shade were green. Sparrows gorge on the seeds, I haven't tried uptill now :)
Seeds were sold to me as Celosia Plumosa ( Cockscomb), I am still confused as to what exactly it is called celosia argentea var. plumosa or celosia cristata*.* On Thursday, February 7, 2013 8:41:13 PM UTC+5:30, Satish Phadke wrote: > > I searched for the images of *Celosia cristata* on net.
