Thanks!
If you want a really unusual broccoli, try the Romanesco Broccoli. My
wife grew some last year and it's great, a cross between broccoli and
cauliflower. We first came across it in a DVD on chaos theory; it's a
natural example of fractals. Details at:

Lordy, lordy... that's like broccoli on acid......it's gorgeous!
I'm having some of that next year, or maybe yet this fall.
Thanks
