Cavolo nero flowers. Image: Su Leslie, 2017
The cavolo nero I’ve been enjoying all winter from the garden is going to seed and producing heads of beautiful yellow flowers. The bees love them.

Beautiful and so uplifting! I love the bee too, so much fun to photograph bees and they never bother you either. Just busy at work.

Thank you. It is really rewarding to get a bee shot that’s in focus.

So many vegetables end up with beautiful flowers that we don’t ever see – I am glad I get to see these!

🙂 I’m wondering if I can harvest seeds from this one. I’ve grown coriander from seed like that, but nothing else so far.

You should try – if it fails, oh well. But if it succeeds, that’s great.

Very pretty Su. I think I shot these as well but I had no idea what they were.

It’s the first time I’ve grown it, and I had no idea how pretty the flowers were going to be. 🙂

Yum. I know you can stuff and fry zucchini flowers, but I haven’t heard of cooking these ones. I’ll have to check it out!

My cavalo nero is doing the same. But I haven’t seen any bees on the flowers.

😦 We seem to have lots of bees in the garden — on the citrus and rosemary as well as the cavolo nero. I heard someone in the neighbourhood has a hive, but I’m not sure if that’s true.

I will probably get more bees when the borage starts to bloom.

Thank you 😊 i was surprised to see the little orange thing on the bee’s leg — like one of those inflatable armbands you put on kids at the swimming pool 😂
