It's blooming. :-)
You can still pick it now and eat it that way.
Wait much longer and you won't be able to.

Your broccoli has bolted, you must be going through warm weather and lots of
sun. Broccoli likes cold/cool damp grey weather, which is why it does so
well in U.K. because we mostly have cool damp crap weather :-( but good
broccoli :-).

To Om: - a friend gave me a T-shirt with this saying, I didn't know it was
from Heinlein - thanks!

Welcome! :-)

Even that bolted broccoli is still eatable. I planted some early winter
and got some good small compact heads but after I cut those and the
weather started warming up, I got more like what was in that picture,
and they were still tasty bits...
