We had visited Edessa in northern Greece, a beautiful city. They have incredible waterfalls there, but this caught my eye, and I snapped a photo. I have no idea what type of flower/plant this is, but loved the color. Thanks a bunch for advice and comments. Always appreciate it.

What a gorgeous vibrant pink and they look so well against the old stone wall. Your choice of wide portrait perspective is perfect.
You may be surprised to know that these pretty 'flowers' are in fact ornamental lettuces. Not so good for eating but lovely to look at :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The patterns and colors on the wall make for a great backdrop for these beauties Vicki.

I believe they are ornamental kale Vicki - these have gotten much taller than I usually see but a lovely bright color.

I like kale but can't imagine eating pink kale:)...it sure is pretty though and a nice shot of this gathering...like a chorus line of ladies in frilly pink.

That kale is such an unusual color Vicki - the wall in the back adds to the beauty of your image - Nice find and Great Capture!!!!!!!!!!!

Vicki, by checking-out this link I suppose that they are an edible species of (ornamental) kale. Hope however you won't consume them in order to keep this fine and colorful scene intact. ( 😁 )
