It's some variety of celosia, aka cockscomb. They dry well for indoor
arrangements.

Thank you!
I'm used to seeing the smaller, more familiar forms of Celosia and hadn't
even considered a variety of Celosia as a possibility.

Thanks again!

Mark.

It's Celosia. Do a search on Google or Yahoo and you should see information
about the different varieties and sizes. It comes in varying heights and
colors. I just used a deep pink (similar to that color) with bronze/red
leaves at the back of a bed with Victoria Blue Salvia and White Vinca with a
red eye in front. Gorgeous!

From searching on celosia it does look similar to some varieties.
Are you sure it is Princess Feathers, though?

Prince's as in Prince. My grandmammy always called 'em Cockscombs and
Prince's feathers because they looked like the fancy feathers that men stuck
in their hats.........madgardener (it is a member of the Celosia family
which reseeds tiny little black seeds to ensure return the next year)

Actually, it looks like a deeper colored C.argentea to me.
