Description

Bold and impressive dried Cardoon flowers (Cynara cardunculus), available in three (3) stem bunches. An edible Mediterranean thistle and close relative of the artichoke. Part botanical, part sculpture. Flower heads are composed of many layered, spiky bracts that radiate outwards in a starburst formation. Muted purple, central brush-like tufts are present on most flower heads — once a vivid purple. Bracts are tinged aubergine from their tips. Substantial, branching, defoliated stems create clean lines that frame these dramatic flower heads. Display in a weighted vase of suitable proportions as a commanding statement piece. Or, pair with other materials requiring height, a formal punch and a bit of the wild.

Dimensions
