Bright Eyes

A gardener in Canada shared the surprise of opening parted cauliflower leaves to find a striking bright purple head at the centre. Growing Purple Moon F1 from West Coast Seeds, they had seen photos on the seed packet but were still unprepared for how vivid the colour turned out. Fellow gardeners are enjoying the eye-catching result.

Gardening guidance circulating online recommends planting seven specific shrubs in October so they establish roots before winter and reward gardeners with bright spring blooms. The advice, published by home and garden outlet The Spruce, taps into the seasonal window when cool soil and autumn rain give new plantings their best start.

A photographer has shared two photos of yellow-banded poison dart frogs, Dendrobates leucomelas, drawn from their own wildlife photography work. The bright, boldly patterned frogs are a popular subject among nature photographers, and the post has drawn modest appreciation from fellow users interested in animal and nature photography.
