This is what an artichoke looks like when it somehow eludes the Chef's clippers and gets to flower. These delicious “vegetables” are nothing more than the large flowering buds of a thistle plant (Cynara scolymus). It is not uncommon in San Francisco to see them planted as ornamentals. I’m not sure if “pretty” is the right adjective; “interesting” is probably more like it. Personally, I prefer mine much younger, and served with a garlic aioli.

It looks very photoshopped. But you just can't stop looking at it!
I'll take that as a compliment, and a plug for the Sony camera's quality... the only editting I did was turn up the contrast a bit! Thanks, and don't look at it too long.
BTW, I dont have photoshop. I use a freeware program. (in related news, I've changed the donation button headline on the sidebar) ;-)
It looks like an alien from a low-budget 80's horror film.

that looks like something from the movie little shop of horrors. ;0
