Field of Brussels sprouts
Field of Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea gemminifera). The lower leaves fall off leaving the buds, which swell up to form the vegetable. The leaves at the crown of the stem pass food down to the lower buds, which swell up. The sprouts are harvested when the sprouts are relatively small. Photographed in Devon, England

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vast field of Brussels sprouts, capturing the essence of rural agriculture in Devon, England. The image beautifully depicts the life cycle of these remarkable vegetables, Brassica oleracea gemminifera. As the lower leaves gracefully fall off, attention is drawn to the buds that gradually swell up and transform into delectable sprouts. The intricate process is revealed as the leaves at the crown of each stem dutifully pass nourishment down to these budding vegetables. It's fascinating how this natural mechanism ensures their growth and development. The photographer skillfully captures this phenomenon, highlighting both the beauty and complexity found within nature's design. Set against a picturesque English landscape, this photograph transports us to an idyllic countryside scene. The multiple rows of Brussels sprouts stretching out towards the horizon evoke a sense of abundance and productivity. It serves as a reminder of our reliance on agricultural practices for sustenance. With its rich history in farming traditions, Britain has long been associated with crop cultivation. This image encapsulates that heritage while showcasing one particular food plant - brussels sprouts - which have become synonymous with British cuisine during festive seasons. Science Photo Library once again delivers an exceptional visual representation that not only educates but also captivates viewers through its sheer aesthetic appeal.
