Oh yeah that's gorgeous.
I had no luck at all with mine.
What a thing of beauty! Will she keep her colour or go grey like purple king beans?
My purple cauliflower behaved like red cabbage when cooked. It went to a blue/gray (ish) purple. With the addition of a little acid,(lemon juice/vinegar) however, it became a vivid pink.

Oh she sure is!
Have you seen you can grow an orange one?
ENJOY it!
Veggiegobbler - Thanks! This is the first year I had such amazing success. So keep on trying. :)
Phoebe - she'll go just a bit paler. But still look pretty on the plate. :)
HelenB - very interesting. Thanks for the tip with the lemon juice.
Cottage Tails - I have not seen an orange one yet. Is there? Are they as easy and rewarding to grow as the purple ones?
