November 24, 2006 - Crystal on the flowers .. :)

flowers with jewelleys

No big surprise here, it is raining today as yesterday…

##I was awake in the rain-music, I will fall into the sleep in the rain-music too.##

Everything is wet: air, ground, benchs, cars, trees, and this beautiful flowers. Look at the small spots of water on the leaves, do they look like the shining crystals?? And I also thought of one post by Macky.

p.s. I don’t know the name of this plant. Do you know?? And sometimes it looks like the lettuce as I see. But it’s a kind of flowers I think. Here you could see the large one of this photo.

They look like a type of Savoy Cabbage with crinkled leafs. They are pretty and almost like flowers. The raindrops really make them sparkle. Nice shot.

I think it is a cabbage plant. The color and leaves look like cabbage to me. When I grew up you would only find cabbage in a garden where it was grown to eat. Now it is often used as an ornamental decoration … I’m glad you think of the rain as music.

The water on the cabbage is beautiful like crystal:-) I sometimes see this cabbage in a flowerbed and they are planted as a ornamental.

Thank you for linking to my blog.

My mother used to call it the red cabbage, but it’s not the red/purple cabbage one can eat; this one is just ornamental. I think it’s the same things as what’s called “kale” in New Zealand. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale

I never know what this is called either, but always think it is a very photogenic plant.

Thanks for stopping by my new site – come by again! (perhaps for more bull fighting pictures tomorrow!)
