Mr. Garg: it was a joke my veggie vendor played on us... so I bought it, brought it home. photographed it and forgot it... (gave him some copies, he tells me he also displays it in his village in or around Sonarpur) ..
months later when I joined eflora, saw some one making a garland and giving it a funny pseudobotanical name... so I remembered my cabbageheadcarrot... and made up a name... Its a joke I played with my new found friends at eflora.... I hope it has not created trouble for you... but I thought it was too good to pass up...
