Snap and upload. No filter (I never use!) - the vibrant reds of this was amazing!

It is a Celosia argentea, commonly known as the #plumedcockscomb and is of tropical origin from India and Nepal.

The plant is known for its very bright colors. Not surprising!!

These are growing in abundance near #governmenthouse in #melbourne, #Australia with their #marigold buddies.

The red flowering growth presents as erect ‘feather like’ portions that almost look fluorescent in the sunshine.

Yes, they looked this glorious in real life.
