The plant is generally quite dramatic.

Are the flowers edible?

@Sheannutt Hmm ... Wikipedia says not once the flower has bloomed although it's not poisonous.

wow I didn t kn ow that they are pretty expensive here so I guess we don't let them bloom (or its not hot enough!)

Post this beauty on the Hot Climate and Tropical Plant site. They'll get a huge kick out of it

Judging by the lopped off stalks around the flower I would say that most of those artichokes were eaten by the gardener, I know mine will be.

Wow! I grow their smaller cousins, Kardoons, as annuals and they are very attractive (and tasty) too

Very nice, and the plants are an attractive shape too, very sculptural.

They are the most attractive of the thistle family!

arent they a mega thistle?

Correct, along with Centaurea, Echinops and others in that tribe of Asteraceae

I know but they are also delicious before they bloom so I ate 3 of mine tonight, just a little butter for seasoning. Incredibly tasty.

My absolute favorite veggie of all time, with just a little lemon or garlic butter for dipping
YUM!
