In the Cabbage Patch
Uploaded: May 11, 2011 04:07:33
Another from the Children's Garden at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. Was told very seriously and proudly by a young boy helping in the garden that the PROPER name for this cabbage (isn't Mr. Purple Head, believe it or not :) but is Red Drumhead Cabbage...I don't know, with it's "frilly and girly" look, it definitely looks more like a Mrs. Purple Head to me but then, I'm no cabbage expert... :) :)

That's too funny! I think he is wrong...it has to be Mrs. Purple Head! Wonderful light, details and color, Val! I didn't know Cabbage could be so pretty! #9399230Gord MacEachern May 11, 2011
Hi Val, didn't know cabbage could be so beautiful, love that lighting. Anything that frilly has to be a Mrs. lol.. #9399256Michelle Alton May 11, 2011
A wonderful description, Val. But the cabbage itself is photographed to perfection. And for some reason, I expect to see some hobbits in there somewhere. #9399258Robert R. Goodman May 11, 2011

I thought I commented on this one the first time around, Val, but apparently not. I do remember it, though, how could I not - it is so unusual - the design, the colors, and the magnificent lighting! I love the edges - they remind me of string lights. Anyway, a wonderful image and capture! So glad you resubmitted (and the judges are too!). Congratulations - hope to see it again with Gold! (P.S. and thanks for the visit!) #9811283Patti Coblentz November 16, 2011
