Wonderful picture – is it a brassica variant? Also loved the words – very poetic.
Did you hear the one about the topologist at the diner?
He couldn’t decide whether to have a cup of coffee or a donut….
P.S. I’d have written sooner, but on workdays, I only have time to read, not respond.

Yes, it’s a decorative cabbage used in these parts along with pansys in seasonal beds over the colder months. Love the lacy leaves.
Yes, topologists do have dilemmas…that are rarely topophilic….
