Title: Weird growing brassica
Post by: manicscousers on September 23, 2011, 17:00:15
Anyone seen a brassica growing like this?
My tag says speedy cauliflower, must be a rogue seed but I have 2 of them, never seen anything like it  ;D

That's weird.  Summer caulis can get a pink colour to them but that's an odd shape too.

Looks like a 'sport' or mutant!!
Save some seed and see if it repeats, could have a winner on your hands!

Whatever it is, it's probably a stray seed in a packet.
