You may not be able to see this without a Twitter account, I'm not
sure. But does anyone know what this is? https://twitter.com/Lnc13/status/350...493184/photo/1 -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

I've told the original questioner and credited you with the answer! Thanks, David. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

I think the flower heads in the original look too 'together' for Pilotus though And would a Pilotus survive outdoors in a UK garden? It's not a plant I know at all but nor is the Celosia except as those horrible florists' things that look like a bit of someone's brain! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

It's not a plant I know at all but nor is the Celosia except as those horrible florists' things that look like a bit of someone's brain! Both Ptilotus and Celosia are members of the Amaranthaceae, so I would guess are pretty closely related. Neither would be considered hardy in the UK, but could be grown as HHA. Have a look at http://www.hishtil.com/htmls/page_26...8099&bsp=18051 - here is a cultivar being offered for sale in Europe. I see no reason why it shouldn't be grown successfully in London. -- Jeff |

Thanks, Jeff. I noticed that the photo I posted here seems to show bronze foliage so it could be a new form. The person who sent it to Twitter has just moved into the house, so they found it there already. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

She says it looks like or similar to C.Caracas. Well done, David and thank you from me and from her! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
