Yes, the flower resembles an artichoke but may be in the succulent family. Too short. Too many blooms. 18” tall. Grew in flower plot. ~linda

Your flower pics should have frames and be hung in a gallery. Maybe The Center would give you your own show. 😁

Weather has be a winner. I’ve only been in one brief rain sprinkle for 10 minutes during the past 4 weeks. Morning overcast becomes blue skies in afternoon. Still wear down jacket many evenings. ~linda
