 This is a Chayote Squash sprout. Taken at my mother's garden. Believe it or not, in CR this sprouts (quelites) are cooked stir fried, in soups or stews and they are very tasty.

This is a really great image. I would have liked to see it moved to the right side more. Center doesn't hold it for me. The colours are great and the orginality of it is very nice.
