It is time for our annual ornamental cabbage photo; one of the top searches bringing first time visitors to Greensboro Daily Photo. This year, we tried to take an ornamental cabbage photo that was obviously taken in Greensboro-- no easy task. The above cabbage is planted in front of Mack and Mack Design Studio Showroom on Elm Street. The foliage anchors the window display beautifully and is a great prelude to the fabulously-colorful, expertly-designed pieces you will find inside. Mack and Mack Clothing is both a custom clothing design and production facility. It was founded in 1995 by Robin Mack Davis. Their signature, soft, washable fabric is called "Magic." They are also known for festive jackets and tops.
Robin and her crew are extremely committed to helping keep downtown Greensboro a vibrant and engaging place. On First Fridays, they feature music and snacks-- a good way to get people to stop in and look around the shop.
See our first ornamental cabbage shot here; and the second here. Wonder why so many people Google 'ornamental cabbage?'
I love the way the colors of the ornamental cabbages reflect in the window display. I looked back to your very first ornamental cabbage shot and was wondering if you have found out the name of the cabbage variety that is that beautiful purple color?

Katja: I'll start asking around. Also, if you hear, please let us know. Maybe a reader will recognize it and chime in. At any rate, the first one has a lacy, decorative leaf!
