I let a few of my leeks go to flower last year, just for the fun of it. When I was ready to pull them up I couldn't bear depriving the bees of what seemed to be their favourite flower so I kept them as cut flowers outside on the potting bench.
That was some six weeks ago...and they are gorgeous still, gorgeous enough to be brought inside to enjoy. Sebastien thinks they remind him of a firework in the night sky...I can see that, can you?
