The cockscomb (মোরগফুল)

in blurtography •  4 years ago  (edited)

Last one month ago, my little niece brought some flower seeds. She planted these seeds in a tub on the roof of our house then she put water in a flower tub. A few days later a small flower bud grows in that tub. Yesterday I went on the roof and saw beautiful flowers blooming. The flower is cockscomb. It's scientific name is Celosia argentea var. cristata.

The name cockscomb is used as the flower looks like the head on the cock. It's not too often seen in the house but not unfamiliar.

It is usually found in the yard of the village, next to the yard of the house, in different places along the road. Its seeds are very small. The seedlings start to grow in just a week after the little seeds are left in the light fertile soil.

It is said that cockscomb has many medicinal properties. This plant is beneficial for diabetics and is used in the treatment of diarrhoea and dysentery.

It is not sure that it actually has therapeutic properties. However, these flowers will decorate your houss. You can plant these flower at home to enhance the beauty of the house and create a beautiful view of nature.
