UNKNOWN FLOWER

Hello,
Sorry I have been absent so long, but life just keeps
getting in the way. I've been thinking about you though.
I was given this plant for Mothers Day in May and I don't know what it is, but it hasn't changed one bit in 2 months.
Any ideas what it might be?
Here is a 2nd picture as well..

These are Celosia plants. You can get these "flame" shaped varieties and also ones called cockscomb which look like the wattle? on top of a roosters head. They also come brain shaped and are sometimes called brain flower.
