kale

I picked some kale from my garden to cook.  While cleaning it I found some of the leaves were growing new smaller (as yet) leaves right onto the flat surface of the larger leaves.  It is quite fascinating looking.  I haven't had time to read up and try to figure out what or why it is doing this.  Is it a mutation, a fasciation or whatever.  Does kale normally do this?  Anyone out there already know?  If you took 1 of the regular sized leaves and laid it flat on a table, it has smaller 1/2 to 2" high leaves standing up all over it, looks like a little forest.  Very pretty.  Carolyn in Los Gatos, Ca.
