Brassica oleracea (Acephala Group)

These black swallowtail caterpillars munched the kale until it was gone and I don't mind a bit. They're fat and happy! #swallowtailcaterpillar

Omg! I would grow this plant just to attract these cutiepies to my yard.

@alovealoe They are the size of my pinkie finger so these must be the giant black swallowtail butterflies. I had some last year on my citrus plants. I'll grow it for them, no problem! I didn't know they liked kale!

Beautiful creatures!

Very attractive 🐛🐛🐛

Omg, those things are huge!

@uaskigyrl Yes, they are! They are very hard to miss, that's for sure.

Just a blush of color. #ornamentalkale

Love those light purple veins, so pretty 🙂

Thank you @aes239. I am so enamored with this one plant because of its coloration.

Its the hint of unusual color that captivates me so much. Thanks @latebloomer.

Early colors of these ornamental kale plants are so pretty. #ornamentalkale #bluegreen
