Funny, I read the comments to confirm what I thought. Not that I know anything about gardening, but they do look like some kind of cabbage that I've seen before. Pretty, though :)
These are Brassica oleracea or Ornamental Kale/Cabbage. I discovered them on a trip to Japan earlier this year. They are of Mediterranean origin but the Japanese first used them as ornamentals. I have a picture of them on my blog but definitely not as pretty as yours.

I'm not sure what plant it is, but it's pretty.
Happy Macro Monday!
