Chris - The Globe Centura is opening!
I promised pics when it started to open. The plant is about 4 feet tall now. Only a couple of buds open but tons more to come. I will take a few more once there is.
I only wish they would last longer. :sad: First one I took about two weeks ago. A close up of a bud. One of the buds opened. They are spectacular when in full bloom. |

I don't know where you find the time, between work, family, the catuary, and gardening!

Wowza! What a cool plant! Where did you get it??? Can it only grow in a certain climate?

I think most thistle-like plants are pretty hardy in cold climes, with the exception of the globe artichoke.

Purple bud and yellow flower? As I was watching the pics s l o w l y load, that little surprise knocked my socks off.
Oh, wait! I wasn't wearing socks... Never mind. It's still cool, though!

Can you say perennials? The only way to go for gardeners with not a lot of free time. I have never seen one in anyone else's flower beds either. Like I said, I don't think it caught on. Oh well, I love it. |

Please do. That would be neat! Maybe if I can find a seed or two this year I can start one for you for next year.
