The same species as the kale used as a food,
ornamental kale is edible to humans, though it may not taste as good as kale more traditionally used for food.
No invites please, better details in large.
This ornamental grass was taken behind my pond
I always leave my grasses till spring for some protection for the birds
also for some texture in our bare garden,
I love when they start getting gold tones.
I hope your Monday is a great one,
Taken before the February Winter Freeze Storm; sadly 90% of the flowers didn't make it, including this one.
The first time I saw Ornamental Cabbage (in bluish purple color) was in New Jersey during the winter months, they often got buried in the snow for days and still thrived.
I guess some were hardy to the cold and some are not?

Stay safe and be healthy!
Last winter I headed into the New Forest and went to a spot I've been meaning to go to for a while, Ornamental Drive in Bolderwood near Blackwater Arboretum.
The road winds its way through a wonderful example of New Forest woodland, with Oaks, Beach and Ash clawing at the road. Being winter the ferns were bright reddish browns and the moss vibrant greens. I walked the road taking a number of pictures as there were just so many compositions, enhanced by the leading line of the road. Cyclists and New Forest visitors journey up the road to visit the deer park at the top, but the road is narrow enough to stop any fast driving or through traffic.
The sun was low on the horizon and there was a lot of cloud cover stopping any bright light contrasting against dark shadows. The perfect conditions for winter woodland photography. I hope you enjoy them as I'll be loading up a few over the next few weeks.

"DECORATIVE ORNAMENTAL TREES FOR STREETS"
El árbol ornamental es el que se planta, cuida y se utiliza
con intenciones decorativas en calles y jardines - sobre
todo - en todo el Levante mediterráneo.
Las naranjas urbanas plantadas por los ayuntamiento son
amargas y no aptas para el consumo humano, porque su
piel absorbe todos los gases y productos tóxicos derivados
de la polución urbana como el plomo y los metales pesados
de las emisiones de los vehículos.
And it is a good year for the roses this year.
Rosaceae (the latin name for the rose family) has 300 species in the wild and many cultivated species.
The woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, form a group of plants that erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip.
They are used for so many things, you name it, the rose has got it.
They are used as ornamental plants, food and drink, medicine and in art and culture,
And what about the music?
Just think about: A good year for the roses, The rose, La vie en rose and so on.
In photography the rose is probably one of the most photographed flowers, mostly macro.
I will try to show another style or two during this serie, enjoy!
Ornamental kale is a fabulous ornamental because it lasts longer than just about anything in the garden. It even survives a few frosts. Although edible, it's bitter and used more as a garnish.
Thank you for viewing and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day!

common names: ornamental cabbage, flowering kale,
binomial name: Brassica oleracea var. acephala f. tricolor
The small ornamental garden was laid out on a terrace overlooking the River Calder at the rear of the house by Charles Barry. The semicircular terrace wall is Grade II listed. The course of the river was diverted away from Gawthorpe Hall in the 19th century because of pollution and again diverted to accommodate an open cast coal scheme north of the river in Padiham in the 1960s.
Related to the shelduck, this pale brown and grey goose has distinctive dark brown eye-patches and contrasting white wing patches in flight. It was introduced as an ornamental wildfowl species and has escaped into the wild, now successfully breeding in a feral state.
Many thanks for any faves and comments

Ornamental cabbage and kale are very close relatives of edible cabbages and kale. They are in the same species, Brassica oleracea, and although they are still edible, they aren't as tasty and tender as their cousins. They have been bred for looks, not flavor. ... The plant in the photo is an ornamental cabbage.
... its an ornamental banana ...a fantastic plant if you like the look of lush tropical foliage...
You may need some space for growing a cold hardy banana tree though...:-)
This pomegranates are from ornamental pomegranate tree,
the small one is less than an inch, set in abalone shell that I often use
for inlay on jewelry boxes, furniture, and jewelry making.
Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. Camellias are evergreen shrubs or small trees up to 20 m tall. They are found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. There are about 300 species and around 3,000 hybrids. Their flowers are usually large and conspicuous, one to 12 cm in diameter, with five to nine petals in naturally occurring species of camellias. The colors of the flowers vary from white through pink colours to red. Of economic importance in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, leaves of C. sinensis are processed to create the popular beverage tea. The ornamental C. japonica, C. sasanqua and their hybrids are the source of hundreds of garden cultivars. C. oleifera produces tea seed oil, used in cooking and cosmetics. The various species of camellia plants are generally well-adapted to acid soils rich in humus, and most species do not grow well on chalky soil or other calcium-rich soils. Most species of camellias also require a large amount of water, either from natural rainfall or from irrigation, and the plants will not tolerate droughts. However, some of the more unusual camellias – typically species from karst soils in Vietnam – can grow without too much water. 33901
