(original cabbage patch kid?)
Jane your picture reminded me of this type of image--vegetables that say 'fertility' held in front of a woman's womb. This image uses cabbage but I think the turnips are pretty nice, too. I can envision a complete anatomical drawing of the inside of our body, all our internal organs, being represented by various fruits and vegetables. I suppose the intestines would have to be long English cucumbers, or possible limp asparagus. What's strange about this drawing is that there her baby's umbilical cord is attached to the cabbage.
