Red Cockscomb Flowers
It also called Celosia Brains or Woolflowers. Indonesian people call it bunga Jengger Ayam (Cockscomb). I captured these flowers when I visited Agri Park (Bogor, West java, Indonesia).The botanical name is Celosia cristata. The genus name Celosia came from the Greek meaning ‘burned’, referring to the blooms’ color. This annual flowering plant grows in warm lands of Africa.
Celosia is an unusual velvety coral-shaped flower that usually comes in shades of red, pink, yellow or orange. Celosia has stringy celery-like stems with leafy foliage, and is treated in Africa as a vegetable. The plant grows wild in hot tropical regions of South America, Africa and South East Asia.
Florists find the flower head of Celosia to be considerably long lasting, while the foliage wilts easily. The flower is bright and original, and looks great in funky arrangements. Source: readyflowers.com

They look so interesting in the garden, don't you think? I had no idea they are a vegetable, though.
