The woman who gave me this plant told me it was a Celosia/Cock's Comb but after researching it I don't believe it is. Can you help?

cock's comb is also an amaranth but not this one. the flower head is the same shape as a cock's comb so easy to recognize.

Could be a rather lax specimen of Celosia plumosa. Cockscomb is Celosia cristata.
