Ruby Red lettuce on 4 June, no hearts anywhere in it, the near trough running bronze to wine-red over crimped outer edges with yellow-green centers while the trough behind stays a uniform acid green, low sun firing every ruffled rim.

Ruby Red lettuce cut on 29 June and heaped up wet indoors, the blades frilled and blistered between their veins and each running back to one wide flat pale rib, several flushed dull bronze over the outer half and beaded along every ridge.
