I found this freak cauliflower which is very welcome but it looks like some tiny purple leaves are invading the head. I'm sure they're edible but why there and why purple? There's a slight purple shading on the stalk but all the other leaves are green.
There are 7 other plants and they've all had identical treatment since I started them from seed. The head is about the size of a tennis ball. None of the others are even starting to head up. I would have expected them all to be similar. I got these seeds in a trade and they're from Henry Fields, Farmer's Extra Early with a 40 day maturity,
Any ideas what's going on with this thing?
