Flower with very bright pigmentation and structured in a very intricate way. There are two species in these photos. The plant that has a showy, fan-shaped or plumelike clusters of red flowers is called a cockscomb and the other is called celosia.

yes it is Cockscomb. I've been growing these for 2 years. They are great plants!
I think you have two species of Celosia or Cockscomb here; Celosia argentea is the erect one and Celosia cristata is the coral like one
