Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus - a photo on Flickriver

Globe Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) growing in the borders of the Produce Garden.

A species of Thistle, the edible portion of which consists of the flower buds before they come into bloom. A cluster of many budding small flowers (an inflorescence) together with many bracts, on an edible base.
The Heligan estate was originally bought by the Tremaynes in the 16th century, and earlier members of the family were responsible for Heligan House and the (still private) gardens that immediately surround it.

"Lowarth Helygen", meaning "willow tree garden", pronounced 'h'LIG'n' is derived from the Cornish word helygen, "willow tree".

The gardens were created by members of the Cornish Tremayne family from the mid-18th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The gardens were neglected after the First World War and restored only in the 1990's.
