Little green hearts

I still remember the first time I took a close look at these Ornamental Cabbages (Brassica oleracea), growing in the garden at the Calgary Zoo back in 2007. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that a few of them were decorated with these little green hearts. This photo was taken a few years later, on 25 September 2012.

After yesterday's snow (12 April 2014), it has pretty well all melted and the sun is shining this morning. The temperature is 0°C, expected to climb to 4°C this afternoon. Tomorrow is expected to get up to 12°C and be mainly sunny.
