Yes, it really is an artichoke and it is about the size of a big sunflower. My wife walked in with this odd flower. At first I thought "boring", but then a miracle enveloped. I used a tripod to steady my camera. I shot this image with a minimum diafragma of 36 and a shutter release time of 1.5 second. The sun is behind the flower so that the petals light up nicely. If your color is blue, than this is for you!
