Plant of the Day

I spotted these beautiful Brassica oleracea var. botrytis ‘Romanesco’ (Romaneso, Romanesco broccoli, Roman cauliflower, broccolo Romanesco, Romanesque cauliflower) in a greengrocers display. The edible flower bud displays a distinctive, fractal growth pattern that endlessly repeats itself. The flavour is similar to that of cauliflower, but is milder, nuttier and has a crunchier texture. This cultivar was first documented in Italy.

Pink News tells the story about Minh Khang and Minh Anh, who became parents on May 16, to baby girl Thiên An. Minh Khang is a transgender man, and – according to the Vietnamese press – the first trans man to give birth to a child in that country.

His wife, Minh Anh, is also trans.

Côngly published an and article about the transgender couple’s wedding back in 2017, and i have included some of the photos  below.

In early 2017, Minh Anh participated in a contest for transgender people. In the final round, she won the Miss Stylish award. That same day, she met Minh Khang -– the representative of transgender men in the Dong Thap province – for the first time.
