I’m not a fan of artichokes. I mean really, who has the time?
But I am a fan of the Jerusalem artichokes our farming neighbor across the road grows every year.

Because when they blossom in the fall?
They are a seriously impressive sight.

Human in far left corner for scale.

When your flowers tower over the harvesting truck?
That’s a damned impressive bloom.

River's world..... 
Wow!!

I love artichokes, but didn’t realize they bloomed or grew that big. Very impressive indeed.

Do you cook with the roots?
Do they taste like potatoes with a hint of artichoke heart?

My mum used to boil artichokes with rock sugar and made it into a drink. She claimed it had a “cooling effect” on the body. It tasted gross.
