Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Brassica oleracea

I still remember the first time I took a close look at these Ornamental Cabbages (Brassica oleracea), growing in the garden at the Calgary Zoo back in 2007. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that a few of them were decorated with these little green hearts. This photo was taken a few years later, on 25 September 2012. After yesterday's snow (12 April 2014), it has pretty well all melted and the sun is shining this morning. The temperature is 0°C, expected to climb to 4°C this afternoon. Tomorrow is expected to get up to 12°C and be mainly sunny.

This was a fine display in the Dorothy Harvie Garden at the Calgary Zoo. These Ornamental Cabbages always fascinate me, especially the white ones because they seem to have a sprinkling of tiny green hearts around the edges of the leaves. Taken on 25 September 2012.
