Grower-led preservation record
Chinese Wool Flower
This preservation grow is being conducted by Celosia Society founder Amy Casca in Ripley County, Missouri. The Society is publishing the record as part of its effort to document living celosia collections and grower-led preservation work.
The grow record will distinguish seed-source information, direct observation, historical documentation, and questions that remain unresolved.
A serious home for the people growing, preserving, selecting, and studying celosia—and for the knowledge that would otherwise remain scattered among them.
Evidence discipline
What is known should remain distinct from what is suspected.
