It is not always easy to identify tropical plants I photographed during our winter vacations on various Caribbean islands.
Finally, today I found the name of this flowering plant called Fireweed - Celosia Spicata.
Celosia is a small genus of edible and ornamental plants in the amaranth family, Amaranthaceae. The generic name is derived from the Greek word κηλος (kelos), meaning "burned," and refers to the flame-like flower heads. Species are commonly known as woolflowers, or, if the flower heads are crested by fasciation, cockscombs. The plants are well known in East Africa’s highlands and are used under their Swahili name, mfungu.

Es ist nicht immer leicht, tropische Pflanzen, die ich während unseres Winterurlaubs, auf verschiedenen karibischen Inseln, fotografiert habe, zu identifizieren.Heute fand ich endlich den Namen dieser blühenden Pflanze - Celosia Spicata oder Celosie. Die Gattung Brandschopf (Celosia) ist eine Pflanzengattung aus der Familie der Fuchsschwanzgewächse(Amaranthaceae) mit 30 bis 60 Arten. Ihre Arten kommen vorwiegend in tropischen Regionen Afrikas, aber auch Mittel- und Südamerikas vor.
