Feather cockscomb

Feather cockscomb or Umou keitou (scientific name: Celosia argentea var. Plumosa) is a cultivar of Asiatic-African native Celosia argente and is a non-cold tolerant annual plant belonging to the family Amaranthaceae. Since the corolla is as soft as a feather, it is also called the Fusageitou in Japanese. It is a plumosa chicken head and is called 'Feather cockscomb', which means the feather chicken head in English. In general, what is thought to be a flower is not a flower, but a stem that is deformed and colored. Real flowers are small white ones near the base of the stem.
