celosia flower (1)

painted a few of these with neon fucsia paint I need to get scans, this is the closest I can get I grew these flowers from seeds in a grand experiment in my pollinator garden for my day of the dead altar, for my father in law. the flower was like the size of my head even under my UV. retained a mauve fucsia, in Mexico where I spent 7 years growing up these flowers are often included in the day of the dead altars, I grow them and use them on my family altars stateside
