Belayu Tabanan Garden

Celosia is a small genus of edible and ornamental plants in the amaranth family. It's generic name is derived from the ancient Greek word Keleos that means "burning"; it is referred to the flame-like flower heads. The species that you are looking at here are commonly know as wool-flowers / cockscombs. I have grown up to know the name in Dutch as Hanekam. These plants are well known in East Africa’s highlands and are used under their Swahili name, Mfungu.

The Belayu Garden situated in Tabanan regency, Bali has these Celosias grown for this dry season of June-August. I am not sure what type of flowers that the garden will grow on the rainy season. Before the celosias were growing beautifully; there were Sunflowers all over the place.

With IDR 10.000 entrance ticket; you can take instagramable images at this place.

I was just amazed with plants in general and want to take part of experiencing among it.
