Garden Porn: Ornamental Cabbage

I've been seeing a lot of these beautiful flowers in florists everywhere recently. The flowers are large with beautiful rosettes but they are in fact, ornamental cabbages. Apparently these are edible but I have a feeling they don't taste that good - doesn't matter, they're far too pretty to eat anyway! Ornamental cabbages are definitely a statement flower and will brighten up any garden during the stark winter period. 

 Vibrant colours...

 These almost look bridal in their creaminess...

Speaking of bridal, here's a bouquet that includes ornamental cabbage, succulents, ferns and snow berries. Fabulous use of greens - see, green can be beautiful!

Wouldn't you love this pot in your home??

Although I spent quite a bit of time searching online, I couldn't find any pictures of ornamental cabbage bouquets like the ones I keep seeing at the florists. It's a bummer because they really are so lovely. The ones at the florists haven't flowered yet so their heads are still quite tight, in a range of subtle pastels. Go have a look when you get a chance!
