Who would have thought a vegetable would produce a flower like this.

That's a veg flower! Beautiful!
I can tell you what it isn't - allium, brassica.
but as to what it is..... please tell us PaulW, bother the veg bed - I want to grow it as an ornamental!The weeks and the years are fine. It's the days I can't cope with!

Excellent teaser photo! no clues! Single stem but no leaves showing. It's definitely not an allium (onion/garlic) because it's a single flower and they produce heads of flowers like balls. Looks a bit thistley, but not big enough to be cardoon or globe artichoke. HELPComment

Wow - would never have guessed that!
I'll have to go and get some - RHS reckon four monthe to grow, harvesting from Oct through to Feb, so I should still be able to get some in!
And a nice flower that is edible - can't ask for more!
