The Cockscomb. Singularity. Celosia argentea L. (1753) variety cristata. Accompanied by a botanical illustration of a lavish red cockscomb flower, resembling a rooster's crest.

Singularity. This unusually-shaped variety of Celosia, believed to have originated in India, looks like a rooster's comb. Not only does this flower have its own unique style, but 'cockscomb' was once a derisive term for a dandy or a fancy, flashy man - they both have the individuality necessary to make this the emblem of singularity.

True singularity is a wonder to behold... an etching of a frazzled man, seen from behind as he climbs a staircase. He is wearing evening wear, a tailcoat with huge sleeves, a flat black hat, and has his hair aggressively parted into two fluffed wings, while his long moustache sticks out at angles making his silhouette look like a butterfly.
