In photo there is 2 different forms of the same sort...Grannyjanet managed to 'forage' the darker sort for me from other end of the country..
And variegated form is from France.
I'm soooooo excited about them ;D..not that they look that exciting ::)
I've been wanting 'one' for a while now..since somebody here first mentioned it ::)
SO!...WHAT ARE THEY? ;)

Our champion plant hunter is Janet here..she's been keeping telephone busy and propably managed to pile up huge telephone bill with her hunting...and it all started from Robert's video clip..so now me, Janet and Carol Klein, we all have same kale... ;) 'correction;...and Charles Dowding...
That variegated French sort was just happy 'accident'..this nursery's web site had plain greensort on photo and what I got looked totally different ???
But I've read from other sites and growers that there is such a thing as variegated form..so I know I'm not been swindled ;D

grannyjanny

Don't forget Charles Dowding. He called me a sleuth ;D.

I probably posted this before, but if not it's worth reading through this thread. http://alanbishop.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=brassica&action=display&thread=4341 . I didn't know a thing about these before I found it.
