A Different Take On Artichokes



This week's PhotoHunt theme is purple.

These artichokes were not harvested and one of them has turned into a beautiful purple flower.

    I love artichoke flowers. We have a cousin of the artichoke, the Cardoon in our garden which has similar blooms. Great take on the theme!

    Jams, I've heard about the cardoon but I'm mot sure I've ever seen one.

    Ann, thanks for stopping in.

    YSTL, I the artichoke turns into a really lovely flower.

    Katya, I'll have to run my hand over the flower next time I see one to find out if it tickles.

    And Miles To Go, this was the first time I've seen such a purple artichoke flower.

    Mariposa, I agree that it is a beautiful flower.

    Noel, thanks for stopping in. I have a feeling lots of flowers may be out in photohunt this week.

    fini, I was happy to share.
