Cynara cardunculus - Cardoon

That's really nice Klahanie. It's leaves look thistle type don't they.

I grew this once and never managed to again. The one that I had was so big it had to be staked and looked out of place in my border so now I have Echinops and Eryngium.

Such a good flower on this its very pretty.

Such architectural plants.

Architecture in the garden again, lovely thistle like flower.

that's a great flower , reminds me of seabed urchins
