Good Qualities
A very fine “look at me” red color (5); Uniform height and broad spread to plants, many stems, very nice; Large combs; Head shape – a nice even sine wave type ‘comb’ as head; Very well received by wholesale and retail florists – I dried some and it turned out very well – I think it would make a very good dried flower; Looks good fresh and dried – Nice size of blooms, about fist-size with laterals being smaller, holds well, for a long time, both in the field and in the vase; Large, full, round heads.
Problems
Too short (4); Thick stems (2); Lack of uniformity, could have been weather or possible shading of the row by adjacent (taller) plants.

Comments
Editor note: See the Postharvest Report in this issue for vase life and handling information. Similar to ‘Bombays’ (2); Strips easily, strong stem; Similar to many other cultivars – Nice, but ‘Temple Bells’, Cramer’s cultivars, and other have more realistic stems; I always sell out on Celosia cristatas, if not fresh, then dry; Wished I had more of this one, will probably try removing center to encourage move and longer laterals in the future.
