In winter ,there are not many flowers blooming.I like to show you all a type of "flower",which is actually from the cabbage family.It is called .."ornamental cabbage"..They are very beautiful..and they comes in many colours,from white ,pink,purple or red..They are for decorations only as I haven't heard of anyone eating them..kekeke

The ornamental cabbage looks much like their edible cousins,but the ruffled foliage is much fancier and more colourful.Ornamental cabbage do not tolerate summer heat,but are extremely cold-tolerant.They can survive winter temperatures as low as 5 degrees,The more cold the temperature is ,the brighter the colour will be. Some streets in Japan are decorated with these beautiful ornamental cabbages in the center of the road.Their colours are very beautiful and very contrasting on the streets.

It is very easy to take care of these ornamental cabbage as it does not need so much water,reason is it can get enough of the winter moisture and snow..
I love to plant these ornamental cabbage in my house and as they gives me a sense of peace and I also love those beautiful colours..
