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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, I harvested 3, then left three to age on plant. They are browned and are atop the stalks.
