It Grows like a artichoke but get about 8 feet tall and you eat the leaf stalks instead of the flower head. Great Italian dish.. Tis the last of all in the garden..

Well, that's new to me. It sort of looks like a thistle in form and color. It's pretty and edible!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
