The Celosia grown in the garden, dried in the greenhouse, and turned into a stunning wreath to brighten up the Winter backdrop.
This wreath will stay up through most of the Winter. It’s like a cup of coffee for my eyes!

That is simply beautiful..so velvety. Nice!
Thanks Rita–it’s a bright one!
This wreath is absolutely stunning!!! LOVE it!
PINK!!! See, I do pink!

This is just gorgeous! I want to grow Celosia now just for this. 🙂 Gorgeous, Stacey!
I agree. It isn’t hard to grow, is it? How did you make the wreath? Great into Valentine season.
Celosia was a little tricky for me…but worth the work! I started seeds in the greenhouse, and they grew VERY slowly. Tiny root system makes transplanting tricky. I probably only get about 1/3 of the seedlings to thrive once they are in the ground. I’m going to try some of the great other colors….the greens…I’m envious!
Love this! I’m very much into natural items for holiday decor. So colorful the Celosia!
Can’t wait to try some new colors this next Spring!
Happy Holidays garden friend!

Beautiful. I didn’t realize that celosia dried so nicely. I’ve sold quite a bit of it in mixed bouquets, but never tried drying it.
Now I have you thinking!!! I’m going to add some other colors to the mix for next Spring!
Happy Holidays!

This wreath is so unique. I’d never considering making one from celosia.
It was quite easy to do–just pin the flower heads with greening pins into a straw wreath, Overlap as you go.

We’re starting a garden for our new property in the spring. I’m going to grow some celosias and give this wreath a try in the winter. Thank you!
Ha, I love that, “a cup of coffee for my eyes”, girl you are speaking my language. Looks great hanging on your custom branch hooks too. I’ve never grown Coleus, but I really fancy that shade of red. It’s a little antiqued looking. Is it very brittle when it dries? It looks soft and velvety. Very original and pretty. I’ve not seen that used anywhere. Pinning! (I always feel like goof-ball Charlie Sheen when I say that, LOL)
