After an enforced hiatus, caused by a malingering PC, I really have not got back into the swing of writing for the blog. But these beauties are just right to break the spell, and here I am.
The Celosias here are from
Gardenia’s garden (photographs by Gardenia). They look and feel like velvet, (

The dictionary definition of cockscomb is : a vain, showy fellow; a conceited, silly man, fond of display. Equally applicable!

Just curious. I wonder if the flower would like the dictionary meaning applied to it though :)
ReplyDeleteNice pictures.
When I was small i used to be afraid of the flower, I used to wonder how can a flower have a furry look, what if it suddenly moves when I try to touch it.
ReplyDeleteNO not now any more, my daughters would laugh at me. ;)
