Yes, young leaves of cockscomb flowers (Celosia argentea) are considered mildly toxic if ingested. They can cause gastrointestinal upset in humans and animals. However, the flowers themselves are often used in culinary dishes and are generally safe to eat in moderation. It's always best to consult with an expert before consuming any unfamiliar plants.
