celosia, pinkish purple.

We planted 6 celosia in a row as companions to marigolds, zinnias and kangkong, sharing the same flower bed. Kangkong was the first to grow and pulled out as veggie. Zinnias in such tight space seemed to flower early and died in chorus. 

Now celosia is taking prominence growing to a height of 5 feet, with long beautiful pinkish purple flowers. Marigolds just started flowering.

I will fight and survive said the plant - Celosia argentea

and that would probably be the words uttered by plants and trees over million of years as they live through adverse conditions, heat, cold and storms and  survive for a day longer. It needed just a gust of wind to push the poor celosia argentea down, and the battle cry echoed again and again get up get up get up i will fight.... Within a week, the poor plant exhibited tremendous effort to get up and produce new shoots. It is really a sentimental display of will to survive, by our only celosia argentea at the backyard.

get up -  Celosia argentea

get up -  Celosia argentea

get up -  Celosia argentea

new shoot -  Celosia argentea

One short  burst of  strong wind toppled the poor plant,
and it leashed out THE WILL TO SURVIVE

" I will fight and survive "

said the plant.
