Bougainvillea

The bambino boug has finally flowered. Its elegant white flowers caught me by surprise while I was watering the garden. I was so excited when it caught my eye that I have to take a picture immediately.

Artichoke

Heavily laden in grey foliage, my artichoke plants were leaning precariously and windy storms did not help. To solve this problem I removed some of the damaged and obstructive leaves. This also aids in transferring the energy to producing larger flower buds. A couple of weeks later, I was harvesting, cooking and eating the chokes.
