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.

  1. 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!

    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.
