The Ornamental Cabbages in the City Garden - Gardening and Hobby 51

Monday, March 4, 2024
We thought a cabbage, an edible cabbage with its flower when we saw plants in the city garden. But, after closer look, they are not cabbages as we know.

Based on identification of Google and Bing, the flowers called ornamental cabbages with scientific name, Brassica oleracea

They look very colorful in the garden. Actually, the flowers have striking colors that could be:
- pink
- purple
- white
- green
