Getting to Know Cut Flowers - Cockscomb

Cockscomb - or celosia - are one of those flowers that brides seem to either love or hate.  Some love their velvety feel while others dislike the fact that they look like brains.  I find it unique!  Cockscomb are a garden grown flower and are available as early as April from Florida until the winter frost in October/November.  They are available in green, burgundy, orange, red, and yellow so they work with a variety of color palettes. Their interesting shape add texture to today's garden themed or rustic weddings.  They have a vase life of 5-7 days.
