I found this cabbage flower included as part of a flower arrangement which was quite suitable as it appeared almost as if a huge green and purple rose! Cabbage flowers are becoming more popular as ornamental flowers as people want more exotic blooms instead of the usual flowers. Ornamental cabbage are supposed to be close cousins of the edible cabbage; supposedly not as tasty but also edible, however they are grown for decorative purposes rather than to be eaten.
This is so pretty!
It is… Thank you, Michelle! 🙂
I saw last year first time in my life ornamental cabbage
Did you like them, Carmen?
Yes!
🙂 They are very big and attractive, can’t fail to notice them!
how pretty
Huge ‘roses’… 😀 pretty, huh…
Very pretty!
Thank you, MommyofEli2013
They are very pretty, but I feel myself compelled to pedantically point out that they are not flowers!
Haha, trust you… 😀 😀 But they are always called cabbage ‘flowers’… Maybe I should have added inverted commas to the ‘flower’… (Besides, ‘cabbage heads’ don’t sound as good! Lol…)
You’re right of course! They are called ‘ornamental cabbage’ here.
very beautiful flower
Thank you, Elenka!
