For Cee’s Flower of the Day challenge.

Went to a nearby community flower garden and saw these uniquely shaped flora. Never thought this plant is common in the Philippines and also a symbolic flower of one of the famous festival in the country. As far as I remember, I haven’t seen one until now I am living outside my home country. Celosia is quite fascinating flower with interesting bloom. Also called as cock’s comb as it looks like one when it has fasciation. Based on my quick research, it is edible too.
