Description
Artichokes, Mediterranean perennial thistles, are grown in California in the USA, so we on the east coast don't get much chance to see the large striking flowers or the entire tall plants, both of which are exotic around here.This photo taken in mid-July in Chanticleer garden, Wayne, Pennsylvania. Background cleaned up in PSE.

I was surprised, too, Tessa, the Calfornians trying to keep it a secret? : ) Thanks so much for your support!

Byron, so interesting! I don't know if I've ever seen one - thanks for sharing this perfectly captured specimen. V

Cheri, thanks much for your appreciation and vote! --these are the first flowers I've seen, too, even though I've been eating artichokes since childhood. : )
