Rooster combs

My mother calls these “rooster’s combs,” because they are the color of the combs on the roosters we raised on the farm.

They are very big and tall. The tops are red and full of seeds. They have no odor to smell. They are easy to grow, and they multiply. And oh so pretty!

I love watching them grow and the response of insects when they land on them. Children and adults always try to smell them and feel the hard red tops. People driving by will stop and want information on the rooster combs. I share plants and seeds when available.
