This pretty pink Coxcomb is a sister plant to the maroon color ones in the previous photo. Both were spotlighted in the late summer sun yesterday, Thursday August 30, 2018. They are blooming in the garden of today's birthday girl, Fay McKinley - Happy Birthday, Fay! She thinks her niece Beth Ann Cravens brought this flower to her originally and it produces so many seeds it just keeps growing. - LW Comments | Permalink

Deep maroon Coxcomb blooming on Fairground Street, Columbia
2018-08-31 - Fairground Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com
The flower is Coxcomb and this dark maroon color is the most common of several colors that can be found. It is a late summer to early fall bloomer and it has the appearance of velvet in texture. Its shape calls to mind a human brain on a stick, or some say it looks like a deep red cauliflower. Either way, it's a stunning flower. - LW Comments | Permalink
