Trying to find old thread

in Plants
Hi, I'm trying to find an old thread- maybe a few months ago. Someone was given a plant and wondered what it was. You identified it as summer bedding although can be a house plant. I was pleased as I'd seen one unlabelled at a garden centre and really liked it but there was noone around to ask. But being a silly Snoodle, I've forgotten already! Does it ring any bells? Plant was small, green leaves and the prettiest tall thin fluffy dark pink flowers
Thanks!

Could the plant have been a celosia plumosa? Thjat might help if correct.
Yes! Brilliant! Thanks Hogweed. Will give it a go indoors.
Treated myself! Lets see how this fella likes being a house plant. Any tips gratefully received!
i spotted that can get the seeds with mixed colours. Not so mad on the other colours but thought if this one doesn't make it, I could grow some from seed and choose the nicest colour one for indoors, and use the rest as summer bedding.
how do I pronounce it? Is the emphasis on the "cel" or the "o"?
My plant book says it's se-lo-se-a
Thanks V Sponge. I can know look intelligent and informed when visitors ask!
Glad you got one Snoodle, pretty colour.
Aw, thanks SG Lily. I've never been much of a houseplant person. I find they just gather dust and look awful because I don't look after them. But there seems to be a stirring of houseplanting ness in me! I wonder if it is a progression?? as I've got more into gardening I find myself admiring things I never even noticed before (is there such a thing as a gardener's eye??!!)
Leaves gone red! Looks amazing. Leave mix of bright green and red. I suppose it's because the days are shortening.
Not a great picture as on ipad in artificial light....misses the brightness....but you get the idea...
It may have gone red because it needs a bigger pot.
Ooh really? I've been meaning to pot it on since I bought it but haven't got round to it yet....
