the colour of Salem
Low-key flower decorations outside Salem shopping center. Lovely, if you ask me. According to our botanical advisor, they're known as Brassica oleracea ("prydnadskål").

Not the happiest of colours, but I like the effect ot the out of foucus ones as background.
Ditto re: the colour, but it's a fab shot all the same!
never mind how it's called, too hard for me to remember! ^0^
i just love lavender and its color and esp. how you took it in a macro angle. ^0^
I like the color! And the composition is really good too.
that´s so beautiful, i love this colors too!
Regarding the colour, I'd say I like it. It's appropriately low-key much like anything else which insists on growing and thriving outdoors late November.
Vogon Poet: It was a blurry kind of day, mayhaps...
Tinsie: Thanks! :)
arabesque: I fully agree about those Latin names. Fortunately, I have outsourced that entire complexity to our botanical advisor! ;)
Halcyon: Glad you like it. I could probably have picked a prettier flower (are they even called flowers?) but being a last-minute shot before the bus was to depart I'm pretty happy with it.
Paty: Appreciate that!
Thanks all for going botanical with us.
First time I remember seeing these colourful cabbages as ornamental plants on the street was in Lhasa, Tibet and I had no idea what they were then... :-)
Very nice portrait of an ornamental cabbage.
Salem, once a part of Botkyrka, a richer part, and they wanted to be alone, so beautiful colours there!?!
Pretty cabbage
I like this photo, the composition,- and also the color.
They are quite beautiful. I like the colors! Sorry VP and Tinsie!
Lovely Colours. A beautifully taken photo.

Hope you will pick another "flower" for next time. I never get tired of seeing them!
I love this! Beautiful colors and an attractive image.
Our Twitter followers already know this but I'd like to mention again that Salem is the 26th and final municipality of Stockholm County that we've visited this year. It took almost twelve months but we did manage to tour the entire district.
JM: From Tibet to Salem!
cieldequimper: Thanks. The sun did most of the work...
Lena Johansson: I had forgotten about that but you're right. The municipality was split in two.
Mo: Yep.
Gunn White: Fiddling with depth-of-field can be fun.
Jacob: Sort of Christmas-like in advance.
Alexander: Appreciate that.
Halcyon: Most of them are hidden under droves of snow now.
tapirgal: Glad you like it too.
Thanks everyone.
