I love all the colourful layers in this pretty English country garden. The purple flower is the main focus. Thank you for sharing.

Thistle right? Beautiful depth!

@creativeamateur @trevi70 Thankyou, both, for your comments. I think, but am not sure, that these are artichokes.

Very nice Hazel.

[Hazel]

@carwyn3 Thanks very much!

Great shot of rather fancy artichokes! Really like your composition, lovely!

[Hazel]

@tishpics Thank you, that's good, they are artichokes then - very nice of a cottage owner to grow them in their garden adjacent to the road.

Beautiful photo of a beautiful garden . love those artichokes ( to eat )

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula Thank you. I think this garden owner was not too interested in eating his artichokes.

[Judith Greenwood]

No my artichoke never looked anything like this! Just one head!

from far away thought that it is a tatarnik. at us is in its Russia much and very prickly. when fades the down flies

[Hazel]

@inspirare Looks like a thistle, do you mean? These are artichokes (a vegetable) and you can eat them before they flower.

Oh I have an open artichoke shot too, I'll have to pop it on. They make amazing photos.
