At the Naperville farmer’s market, there were a number of these ornamental kale out in early spring, just in time to catch some snow. They were rather spectacularly bright as well. We had a few of these in our garden in Ohio as well. They add a lot of welcome color.
for Squares: bright and Life in Colour: pink
Day 1 of being away and relaxing. Ahhh. I’ll get back to everyone who comments and wish you a most happy Friday.
This, that and the other thing 
Amazing colour
I like the contrast between the pink and the outside. Of course the snow is just the decoration. 😊
😎
Georgeous color. I have never grown these, but they are very interesting plants.
They’re beautiful and something fun when other things aren’t growing. I’ve never grown them either, just enjoyed seeing them.
That’s a beauty Janet! Love the colours!
And the colors contrast so nicely. 😉
Yes, indeed!
What a pity it’s not edible. I read it has a bit of a bitter taste.
I love kale except for the green color. Wouldn’t it be lovely to hear mother saying, “Eat your pink and purple vegetables.”
Maybe kale should try to be more like Swiss chard in the looks department. These are food for the eyes instead only from the outside.

I love ornamental cabbage, Janet. With the snow – even more stunning. 🙂
They really are beautiful and at a time when that’s needed. Thanks, Marsha.
Beauty is always loved and needed in our culture. Was it the Greeks or the Romans that emphasized beauty so much? Anyway we sure got a huge dose of it in our gene pool. 🙂
Especially these days when almost everything you see and hear is negative and/or depressing.
I have to stay away from news.
Definitely!
look so amazing in the snow
The snow is like powdered sugar on a cake. 😉
Fabulous 😍
Spectacular.
Especially when not much else is blooming. 😉
Wow, I’ve never seen this! How very cool, Janet! Thanks for sharing! 🌞
Hi, Lisa. Glad you liked it. Ornamental kale is beautiful.
Ornamental greens like kale and cabbage are always surprising to me. Well done, Janet.
Good surprises, the best kind. Glad you liked it, Frank.
That’s pretty – such lovely colours together.
They’re so attractive even if not edible. 😉

Shame they are not edible – they’d brighten up the plate. 🙂
That they would. But they just have to brighten our day instead. 🥰

How can Kale be so beautiful? It looks like some kind of giant carnation.
Lovely shot, Janet!
It is gorgeous, isn’t it?
Yes!
Gorgeous. The Auckland Wintergarden devotes a whole area to ornamental kale over winter; I love visiting then.
I bet that’s quite something.
