My "Thistle"
 
is
 
an Artichoke !
 
According to Diane , it looks like it to her ,and after googling

You can eat before the bud blooms and then it becomes bitter and  inedible .

  4. Hi Anne,
    How are you, my dear?
    You have been doing some brilliant work with these plants. I am horrible in naming most plants.
    I would rather just photograph them!
    :)
    Well done, hon.

  5. I didn't know artichokes flowered like that but I suppose it makes sense. Not a big fan of them to eat but very pretty.
