I allowed this artichoke to bloom simply because I love the colour and the fragrance of this flower. I am careful before I put my nose close to the brilliant blue filaments to inhale the spicy perfume because there could be bees as seen in the picture. The flowers last a few weeks. There are a couple of small buds on the bush, if you can call it that, but the season is definitely over. There is a smaller plant but I doubt if it would send out buds this season. I may have to wait till the end of next winter to enjoy more artichokes in spring.
