Brassica oleracea. An unusual sight because plants are rarely left to flower once the 'sprouts' have been picked.

Nice plant If it was left to drop seed would you have lots of baby cabbages growing? LOL

I thought the photo was not of Jersey Kale aka Walking Stick Cabbage (Brassica oleracea palmifolia or also v. longata) but of a good old Brussel Sprout (Brassica oleracea: Gemmifera Group) that had been left to flower.

It actually got too big and fell over in the wind. The heavier site was cut / pruned and a large stake helped keep it vertical. The flowers are to be kept on so that the bees are able to enjoy it | | |
