I absolutely LOVE this last flower. It looks like an artichoke – my very favorite vegetable. Wishing you continued safe travels filled with great beauty, like this.

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

Gorgeous Linda! For my part I am flying tonight to DC for NIH maternal-child health meetings; at least I think I am, as thunderstorms may arrive before I get out of town! Best, Bill
