Man they are just the ugliest flowers. But that is cool.
Didn’t realize they grew so well in pots.Funny, I think they’re really cool looking.
They are unique but they are old thistles.
The petals at the base are super tough and the whole thing is prickly. I mean yeah it’s all perspectives but I’ll take a soft flower any day.
I also love the flowers on thistles.
LOL that checks out.
But, It sounds like you don’t have a neighbors yard growing full of them spreading everywhere.I used to have them in my own yard. My newer place doesn’t have any and I wish I did!
What zone and hemisphere are you in? I’m guessing Northern and somewhere it gets cold(er)? We’re zone 6a and I left our first year globe artichokes in the ground more or less as is. They’re not brown, but they don’t look that happy after a few hard frosts. I’m surprised to see what looks like new growth on yours combined with the brown.
I can’t tell what I’m looking at. Did you get any artichokes?
Yes, I harvested 3, then left three to age on plant. They are browned and are atop the stalks.
Amazing, thanks for sharing
