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.

arent they a mega thistle?

btroje Level 9 Sep 5, 2018

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!

WOW ! Beautiful !
