#Cynara cardunculus var scolymus, #Artichoke. We don't often see the flower cause it's the bud we eat, but they're gorgeous.

Flower of #artichoke, #Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus, which we don't usually get to see as it's the tightly-closed buds we eat. But it's a gorgeous bloom.

From a 50p packet of seeds came this wonderful #cardoon. It's surrounded by bronze fennel in my edible front garden project, edged with golden marjoram, chives and there are blackcurrants in there too. Fab leaves and pollinators love it.
