Blooming artichoke ~



My neighbor up the street has quite a few artichokes growing in her front yard . . . I have never seen a flowered artichoke . . . they are so pretty. I took quite a few shots but this was the only one that I caught with two bee's at the same time.  In the photo below, I was able to capture a bee coming in for a landing.

    I had no idea they looked like that. Love artichokes, and always think of California when I eat them.

    Thanks, they are frustrating little buggers and don't seem to want to hold still or do what you want them to do! I got quite a few shots but too many to post. I was more intrigued with a flowering artichoke . . . never knew they blossomed into such a pretty flower!
