Man they are just the ugliest flowers. But that is cool.
Didn’t realize they grew so well in pots.Funny, I think they’re really cool looking.
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.
I also love the flowers on thistles.
LOL that checks out.
But, It sounds like you don’t have a neighbors yard growing full of them spreading everywhere.I used to have them in my own yard. My newer place doesn’t have any and I wish I did!

They really didn’t spread much.
I can’t tell what I’m looking at. Did you get any artichokes?
Yes, I harvested 3, then left three to age on plant. They are browned and are atop the stalks.
Amazing, thanks for sharing
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.
