Flower of Brassica oleracea var. acephala
Once the weather warms, I discard all the Ornamental Kale and spring flowers take its place. I'm usually prompt in performing this transition, but with all the extra weeding this year, I let it go. Now, I have the prettiest flower stalk! This is the first time I've ever seen one, and everything about it is pretty. The purple stalk, the green and white-striped buds and the beautiful yellow flowers rival the beauty of the leaves when they are at their peak.

Sometimes, procrastination pays off in unexpected ways.

Definitely a rewrd - purple and yellow are one of nature's best combo's
Oh, oh, I didn't know it would make such a pretty flower. Well, I'll leave a couple of mine in the ground too. What a nice surprise you got.~~Dee
It certainly did! It's amazing how gorgeous the flowers of many a vegetable are.
I was going to pull mine out, but now I'll wait a little bit and hope they turn out as beautiful. Yours is really gorgeous!
Wow, Aiyana, that color is fabulously dramatic! What happens after the bloom fades?
Wow, that's an amazing pic. I never realized they flowered like that. Something about sub-zero temps they don't like. I usually find a gob of mush after they thaw out. It makes me want to insulate a few and see what happens.
Oh my gosh...you must never discard them again ...this is stunning...what great color all the way around!!!
