 Reserve four artichoke hearts for garnish; cut each in two or four pieces and
 set aside.  Buzz the rest with their liquid in the blender.
 Make a white roux with the butter and flour, letting them cook together,
 stirring, without browning. Stir in the artichoke puree, any liquid from the
 oysters and 1 cup milk. Simmer with the green onions, garlic, thyme and
parsley,
 salt and pepper for about 10 minutes or until the flavors are well blended. Add
 the oysters and the cream and heat just until the oysters plump and curl around
 the edges.
 Serve in deep bowls immediately, the top garnished with the reserved
artichokes.
