The name
is so hilarious! Isn't that so? You might have probably realized the reason
behind the name. This flower is quite similar to cock’s comb on a rooster’s
head. You can grow them in rich, moist, well drained soil with complete
sunlight. These flowers especially tolerate dry soil.
3. Sunflowers

more than that. Sunflowers would be the best choice if you have enough sunlight
and well-drained soil rich in nutrients.

of lily flower suits people with quite tight schedules the most as they grow
with minimal care and will return year after year. You only need to give them
the right place to grow.
5. Peonies

Perhaps
you are familiar with these peony varieties. Just like sunflowers, peonies love
sunlight too. A light shade during the heat of midday would encourage the
blossoms to last for about 10 -14 days whereas full sunlight would make them
fade from about three days. The scents of peonies differ. Some peonies smell
sweet, some have citrus smells and even some have a spicy fragrance.
6. Moonflower
