The edible portion of the artichoke is actually the flower bud of the plant. If allowed to flower, the blossoms are a deep violet-blue and can reach seven inches in diameter.

Fascinating plant and food. I didn't know what an artichoke was until the 80's. I've discussed artichokes with my friends and a gal born and raised in California was the first of all my friends to have been exposed to them. She's been eating them since she was a little kid in the 50's. The rest of us from the northwest and south didn't know about them until many years later. Now I have a better understanding as to why.
