Globe Artichokes

My Artichokes are ALMOST too pretty to eat….I said almost!  I can taste the butter sauce already.  I thought I better snap a picture before I cut this beauty off.  I have really enjoyed growing these plants.  They are stunningly beautiful – such striking foliage.  In fact, after I harvest every last morsel of edibles, I plan to move these drought tolerant perennials to my front yard garden for their ornamental value.
