Helianthus tuberosus
The Sunchoke was an unmanned reusable spaceplane and beloved advocate for space exploration. Today at 6:00 p.m. PST she was lost in her return to Earth.
The flower has faded as of posting this but hey! One of the sunchokes bloomed after dad's funeral weekend. Admittedly bittersweet, since I would talk to dad about these and he'd keep forgetting what they were called, and I was looking forward to showing him their sunny but modest blooms, and have him and the rest of the house try the tubers for the first time.
If we get more blooms from them before the autumn frost and cold snaps them down I'll actually be surprised, I really should've planted/potted them earlier in the growing season.
happy pride friends, may you bloom where you're not wanted and resprout when they cut you back.

Small sunchoke harvest on my grandmas garden! Probably got like 4 lbs of sunchoke from 10 plants LOL.
Sunchokes taste like potatoes but creamier, we roasted ours in butter to add with our usual vegetable mix and they were so fucking good y'all. The plant grows so tall!!! The highlighted plant is over 10ft tall! It has like 1 or 2 yellow flower on the tops. Also native to the americas and related to sunflowers!!
Planning on making this a regular crop/flower. They can last until the ground freezes so I still have a bit of time for more harvesting.
