Beautiful shot. It's almost like the artichoke has purple hair.

Hi Annie, that's a great photo and choice for this week's theme. I had no idea that's how artichokes grow. Very cool.
Have a great weekend.

Don't think I've ever seen an artichoke blossom - do they grow in NC? Looks like a thistle. Great take on the theme.

Hi M, I think Artichokes are relatives of thistle. I took this in a community garden here in NC (not my own garden).

That's a special flower photo there. I'm sure I'll see a lot of flowers in Photo Hunt entries but the beauty is finding out how many different kinds of purple flowers there are out there in nature! :)

That is lovely. I didn't think of using a thistle although I do have one in my archives.

Nice take on the theme! I love artichokes. This isn't how I normally see them, though.

Have a brilliant weekend.

We have some huge flowers on our (also huge) artichokes. Bill cut one and put it in a vase inside.

Beautiful flower Annie. I am always amazed when I see this flower since it seems so different than the artichoke. Must be cool to see on in person.
