Avant de commenter, je suis allée voir ce qu'était une anémone de mer. Effectivement cela ressemble à cette fleur aquatique qui devrait rester dans son milieu naturel, à moins que ce soit un accompagnement pour le poisson. Le couleur est jolie et la fleur est bien plus belle sous l'eau. Ses petite'tentacules" se balancent au gré du courant. Tiens ! Je' suis contente de mon exposé, ce matin !
Most beautiful, and they do look as if they live in the sea. The last time I saw them at this stage of growth was in Salinas, California. Thank you - I had forgotten how strange and interesting they look in the fields.
Wild artichokes grow rampant in my back yard. My neighbor harvested some and said only the Moroccan Jews know how to cook and eat them. They call them kharshoof. But what were they doing in your market? Sold as decoration? Yours are past the eating stage, I think. They are beautiful.
Minuit, l'heure du crime... à pas de loup un couteau acéré serré dans son poing, un homme s'avance dans la cuisine. Levant haut le bras résolument il plante son arme droit dans le coeur d'un vieillard- tichaut !

There is an artichoke throwing contest advertised on local posters for this week near St Pol de Leon, Brittany... will have to try to get a picture of the poster at least... you definitely don't want to be in the landing area... could get messy. :-D (they do like their artichokes in these parts !)
I'm here via Owen, and I'm so glad he linked this post. I am awestruck by the color of the artichoke bloom! Gorgeous. And so is your blog. I am going to follow.
Sea anemones? It sure looks like it, except I found them at the market. Can you tell what they are?
Oui, oui, je sais ce que c'est...
ReplyDeleteC'est magnifique!
Artichokes!

Tiens toi qui nous poses toujours des question, devine qui est Némo.
ReplyDeleteje prends mon masque et tuba et je réfléchis
ReplyDeleteIl faut dire que ces derniers jours il a fait archi-chaud.
ReplyDeleteIl ne doit plus y avoir grand-chose à manger dedans...

ReplyDeleteFleurs d'artichauds , très beau !
ReplyDeleteBonjour!
ReplyDeleteA type of thistle?
Protea?
Ha ha... What are they?
Artichokes, methinks, which is indeed a type of thistle!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot.
Des bleuets ? mais où sont marguerites et coquelicots !
ReplyDeleteUne douceur bleue
ReplyDeleteCynara carduncullus
régal pour papillons
Thistle?
ReplyDeleteOK, it seems a bunch of thistle, a bunch of sea anemones, but it s a bunch of Artichokes, isnt it?
ReplyDeleteWild artichokes grow rampant in my back yard. My neighbor harvested some and said only the Moroccan Jews know how to cook and eat them. They call them kharshoof.
ReplyDeleteBut what were they doing in your market? Sold as decoration? Yours are past the eating stage, I think.
They are beautiful.
Artichoke flowers? Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDes fleurs d'artichaud !
ReplyDeleteDid you slightly photoshop the colour, or is it 100% natural?
What a waste... lol Just joking. J'aime tellement les artichauts!
ReplyDeleteMinuit,
ReplyDeletel'heure du crime...
à pas de loup
un couteau acéré
serré dans son poing,
un homme s'avance dans la cuisine.
Levant haut le bras
résolument il plante son arme
droit dans le coeur
d'un vieillard-
tichaut !

(yvelinoise, alias fleur bleue)
Oh les beaux artichauts!
ReplyDeletePurple dust mops? hahaha!
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea that artichokes flowered like that. Those are so vivid and lovely!
ReplyDeleteArtichokes indeed! I love to eat them, but have never grown them. Very thistle-y flowers.
ReplyDeleteare they thistles? or artichokes? hard to tell. Really gorgeous shot.
ReplyDeleteBonjour! Nathalie,
ReplyDeleteThe consensus seems to have been reach that it's a photograph
of thistles?!? or artichokes.?!?
Hi! C.G.
Merci, for sharing!
DeeDee ;-D
Lovely artichokes!
ReplyDeleteI'd say artichokes in full bloom, but lots of people beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteI've lived in an area where Artichokes were grown, but never saw them in bloom. Obviously a member of th thistle family aren't they. Lovely.......
ReplyDeleteNice!!

ReplyDeleteI have never seen artichokes in full bloom. Whatever they are gorgeous is a fact. That purple is just superb.
ReplyDeleteArtichokes, yes. Harvested in full bloom for decoration purposes. Aren't they lovely?
ReplyDeleteOwen, an artichoke throwing contest in Brittany? I know this is artichoke-growing country but what a crazy world we live in!
C'est une magifique photo Nathalie de la couleur royale.c'est presque une couleur de transfiguration par votre angle.
ReplyDeleteViolet anemones.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty lovely flowers.
Je ne sais pas! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are trés belle however.

How amazing! Your photo makes me want to plant artichokes right away.
