The Artichokes are Flowering!

I decided to take a short walk before studying for a Sanskrit test I’m taking tomorrow. A block away, I noticed that a neighbor’s artichoke plants were flowering. That is always a magical event and I chose to share it with you… NOW! The studying can wait a little while longer.

There are three or four bees flying in and out of most of the flowers.

Perspective is an interesting thing.  Each of these photographs show the artichoke plants from a different perspective.  I don’t think it is possible to know the size of the plants from looking at any of the photos.  If I had walked into my neighbor’s garden and stood next to the plants, which I didn’t, I believe they would have been about my height (5 ft 7 in).
