The solid head of this Brunswick cabbage is held in a wide bowl of waxy, blue-green leaves.

 

The leaves of the Greyhound cabbages curl protectively around their pointed head.  Backlit by the sun the pale veins glow a bright, lime green.

Jude’s 2020 Photo Challenge for August is Colour Theory; this week ‘a monochromatic scene consisting of varying shades of a single colour.’

The three cabbage photos were taken this week.  Here, for a little variety, are some more shades of leaf green from earlier posts.
