Artichoke flower
Not everyone knows that if you don’t pick an artichoke when it’s closed up nice and tight, it will open to a beautiful bluish-purple flower.
Artichoke plant blossoms
So great to have you visit; thanks so much!
Aren’t they cool looking. I did a post about them on my blog back in 2012 HERE: http://wishesdreamsandotherthings.blogspot.com/2012/07/whatever-wednesday-mystery-plant-edition.html
It was fun seeing your photo and remembering when I first saw them.
Cool! I have sometimes wondered what the flowers looked like! Now I know!
