Celosia is a beautiful flower that is known for its bright and vibrant colours. It is also popularly referred to as cockscomb or woolflower due to its distinctive appearance. The term cockscomb is derived from the flower's resemblance to a rooster's comb. Woolflower, on the other hand, refers to the extensive clusters of the plant's flowers that resemble wool. Other synonyms of the word celosia include velvet flower, prince feather, and quail grass. Velvet flowers are another name for this plant due to the furry texture of its flower heads. Prince feather is used to describe the long, slender shape of the plant's leaves, and quail grass is associated with the bird foraging on the plant.
