Default My artichoke!

I'm so excited. My artichoke is starting to make what looks like its a center stalk in the middle of the plant. Is that where the flower stalks come out of? This is the first time I've ever grown artichoke. I planted it last fall. It's about 3 foot across and very pretty.erfect for a desert front yard.
Not sure if it will need a shade structure for summer or if I can just let it die back and go dormant, regrowing in the fall.
Anybody have some experience with artichokes? This is a very pretty vegetable and I can't wait for it to produce some chokes for me.
