Cardoon In Bloom - Purple Flowers - July 2024

A few days ago, I posted an update on our Cardoon - with its purple, spikey (but soft) bloom on the largest bud.  Today?  That first bloom is joined by two others that have all taken on a thistle-like form.  That means the primary bloom is just over a week-old (from when it first opened) and appears to have some staying power.   To say that this plant is dramatic is an understatement.    I could see it in the middle of a large container - like these.
