I usually fall in love with tiny plants, but there is one giant that has my heart from May to July.
Cardoon is a high drama plant. I have it in a slope so it can be viewed from below, beside and above.
Its spiky leaves have a blue hue. It matches its neighbors, the poppies.
Its stems are striped.
When it blooms I put on purple and stand inside it to have my picture taken.
I LOVE this giant!
Rose and I did this lovely puzzle Butterflies of North America during the rain.

We have enjoyed our poppies this year (finally!). That is a cool puzzle and a great rainy day activity.
