Swiss Chard "Bright Lights": Stained Glass In The Sun

I love how some plants glow and shine like stained glass when backlit by the morning or afternoon sun. On this frosty morning my young Swiss Chard "Bright Lights" put on a nice show and got my day started off with a smile. Left double click on the photos to enlarge and see the details close up. Some have asked me if I eat my Swiss chard, ornamental kale, and cabbage plants, and I explain that I grow them only as ornamentals, but if they are hungry, they are welcome to pick some leaves to take home for supper.

Swiss Chard "Bright Lights" Siamese Twins

I did not have the nerve to operate on and separate these Swiss Chard babies when I planted them so I left them as tangled Siamese twins. I know they will thrive and be lovely in spring since I have done this before. Although Swiss Chard is edible, I grow this variety just for their beautiful colors.
