In the Kitchen Garden

Today's picture is an artichoke, overgrown and overblown. 

Neither of us likes them much, and we haven't found anyone to give them away to. Very rarely do we eat one. But we like the look of them.

I'm not sure it's abstract enough for today's challenge, but it is definitely a vegetable. Thanks to Ingeborg for hosting the challenge, the entries are always very intriguing.
