The unseen garden in xiao bai cai

What you see is what you must find.

Xiao bai cai (aka celery mustard/chinese chard), a relative of bak choy.

Full blooms are right at the end of the stem and leaves…they resemble trees.

Now,

the garden is in hot (miso) soup. For tonight’s dinner.

    These are very beautiful. I wish I could eat something like that.
    The fruit in the picture are rosehips, by the way.
