Pink Cabbage Flower

The pink Cabbage flower is probably lilac. I like the plant from afar because it gives off tremendous color. I have other pink things to present, but the plant has such a funny story behind it, and I am in need of a happy re-concussion!

I have this friend, who is busy-busy-busy, I mean to the point she doesn't know what hit her from behind! One day I came over to her place and saw pots and pots of dieing plants. She has never been into taking care of plants, but her friends kept giving them to her - how I wish I had this problem.
I fought with myself for over an hour about whether to ask or not to ask, and during this hour - you know I did not hear a word she was saying! Because - I was so into my thoughts - I wanted to bring these poor things home and take care of them. Yes! I confess! I was so in pain for these plants that looked desperately in need of love.

So I did - I said it, I asked if I could please take these plants home to nurture them back to life. I thought she was going to yell at me. I told her, hey, these plants are in need of some care, and I would like very much to take them home and put them in proper pots so that they can flourish. I will bring them back in great health for you with the exception, I will keep one offspring for myself.
I was so happy when she agreed! It was like getting a deal at the Flea Market! Wow, I took these plants home and didn't know what they were at first because they were in such bad shape!
It was not until a few months later, when it was time to send the plants back to her, and all three were in great shape. I kept one for myself, and don't know how the other two are doing but mine is very happy!

  1. It's beautiful. The pink is just so calming and refreshing. I don't like to see plants dying either. I know they have no feeling, but I feel satisfied knowing I've nursed them back to life.

  3. Wow! You certainly have a green thumb! They look beautiful, esp. the one all snuggled up with the violets! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. You asked how I got that background on my picture. It was just like that, and a surprise to me, too, when I looked at my pictures later that day! Have a glorious weekend! ~karen

    I plant flowering cabbages each year in my winter baskets. After the cold and long winter, they don't look so pretty anymore:(.

  26. Thank you all for your kind words and visits. Just wanted to add that I love my friend and she loves me. We always have a good laugh about how crazy busy we are. It's our womanly prerogatives - and we are okay with it. :-)

  27. i also love the cabbage flowers, i think they add a lot to a landscape. Nice photos of them, it certainly looks healthy. That's great you helped the plants back to life, good job! :)

  28. That is a lovely colour, and shape! I especially like the one with the pansies! Maybe you could make a deal with your friend that her plants spend some time with you on a regular basis, so they can stay rather healthy. Simply rotate them with her, before they get to the state where you asked her about them. I have a friend in a retirement residence, and people give her amaryllisses, because she is almost blind and they have such big flowers, and I bring them home after the flowers are done, and then take them back to her the next winter, when they are blooming again.

  33. I think the ornamental cabbage are so pretty. Yours is such a rich shade of pink.

    It sounds as though it was a good idea to rescue the plants from your friend and nurse them back to health. This one looks great.
