Crafting with Cockcomb Flowers

Cockcomb flowers are most often a beautiful deep red color resembling the cock’s comb on a rooster’s head. They are also known as celosia flowers resembling the structure of a brain in some variety. At any rate, they are definitely a unique type of bloom and to our delight, dry beautifully making them a wonderful, natural craft supply!

These are my cockcomb flowers growing in the garden this past Summer. Just look at the abundance of flowers I was able to dry and use for crafting!

Work your way around the rim until the surface is covered. You’ll find this craft a little messy with the dried cockcomb flowers still shedding the seeds. Be sure to collect the seeds to grow more cockcomb flowers next Summer!
