Vegetable Flowers

[veggiechicken]

Flowers on vegetables come in many colours, shapes and sizes and we tend to take them a bit for granted or nip them off to stop bolting.

I want to encourage you to look at them closely and appreciate their beauty. Grow some more in your flower bed and wait for the compliments

Please will you add some photos of vegetables in flower to this thread

Here are some Broad beans taken today.

Im growing both Firestorm and moonlight runners. Hopefully if I can get it right, i'll try to show some courgettes with the flowers still on them.

Don't forget foliage too....beetroot can be very attractive

Purple sprouting that has sprouted a bit too much! The bees and hover-flies seem to like it though

I grow rainbow chard and frilly chicory in the flower beds and when they get too big we eat them!
