My daughter sent this to me on her cell phone, thinking I could ID it. But I can't recall the name.

Thank you very much Arlene. I have seen them but they are not a flower I particularly like so have never bought one.

Yup. Celosia. Not sure which variety, tho. Pretty!

I haven't tried growing them in a long time (didn't have much luck back then), but I may have to give them another try. I like that color!

Now, wouldn't that look nice combined with some of the dark blue lobelia, like maybe Crystal Palace?

And pinch/cut back the lead so it gets fuller instead of taller?

Probably, but I'm really bad about doing that. Or, rather, NOT doing that! Sigh, I hate pinching my children. Hilarious!
