Awesome Artichokes

Just look at these gorgeous artichokes. They might not be for eating but boy are they beautiful

My granddaughter just sent me today's photos of yesterday's artichokes


A week ago


Tonight
Look at the size and colour of the flower


If you don't want to eat them just leave them alone and Mother Nature will reward you with a work of art

  2. I think I love their flowers more than eating them!

    1. I quite like artichokes but I don't like cleaning them. So much nicer to admire their flowers

  5. Admitting to never eating artichoke before.
    That's a marvellous lavender blue colour - could you possibly use the flowers for dying?

    1. I'd have to look that up. I wouldn't mind wool in that colour!

    1. It's the first time I've ever seen one go to flower. Well worth it

  7. Oooh. My favourite colour. I had a dress that colour when I was much, much younger. I wore it to death!
