    Man they are just the ugliest flowers. But that is cool.
    Didn’t realize they grew so well in pots.

        They are unique but they are old thistles.

        The petals at the base are super tough and the whole thing is prickly. I mean yeah it’s all perspectives but I’ll take a soft flower any day.

            LOL that checks out.
            But, It sounds like you don’t have a neighbors yard growing full of them spreading everywhere.

    What zone and hemisphere are you in? I’m guessing Northern and somewhere it gets cold(er)? We’re zone 6a and I left our first year globe artichokes in the ground more or less as is. They’re not brown, but they don’t look that happy after a few hard frosts. I’m surprised to see what looks like new growth on yours combined with the brown.
