Drying Times
Who Needs Coffee!
2 years ago I had great success with my little crop of celosia. Started from seed in the greenhouse, it struggled to take off and I lost even more when I planted it into The Pickery. I didn’t give up and with plenty of watering was able to encourage several large heads to form. What a spectacular color burst in the garden.
Last years crop was a dismal failure, with stems barely reaching 2 feet tall. What flowers did form were very small. Digging back in the archived images from the garden reminded me that I should give these a try–again!
Full Circle
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!

The Pickery
The Pickery provided beautiful cut flowers
through most of the Summer.
The Celosia was quite a splash of color this year!
It was worth the effort to grow.
Warning–Shocking Photos
Shocking Pink!
The celosia was a tough flower for me this year.
With nearly 50 little plants started in the greenhouse,
I struggled to get roots to form.
Once in the ground in The Pickery, I lost even more in the heat.
Only 10 or so flowers bloomed–but oh my…
Look at this shocking pink flower.
You may need your shades to view these beauties!
