Looking down into a purple cabbage in a garden plot: the large rounded leaves form a spiral, going from the outside's velvety green with purple overtones and red veins, to darker purple as you approach the deep purple heart. The leaves are spread out at the outside, and more tightly furled as they grow near the heart, where the bud that will be the harvested cabbage hides, protected by the curled leaves. A few water drops cling here and there, remains from when an early morning gardener watered the plot before the heat of the day.
