It always remind me of my mum.
However, my mum does not remember
planting this at our Clementi house
when I was in primary schoo.
Celosia cristata [Celosia in Greek means burning] is a member of the genus
Celosia, and is commonly known as
cockscomb, since the flower looks like the head on a
rooster (cock). It is called
Chi Kuan in China. The plants are hardy and resistant to most diseases, and grow equally well indoors or out, though the perfect place is one with no shade and a well drained soil, as the plant is susceptible to fungal diseases. The plant is used frequently as an ornamental plant indoors. Their leaves and flowers can be used as vegetables. They are often grown as foods in India, Western Africa, and South America.
