indeed cauliflowers? It's the first time I've tried to grow them, but
I'm guessing that they never formed a head and have simply flowered
now that it's spring? Assuming I'll not get any veg out of them
now....
Any advice appreciated

Does it look like the blooming cauliflower in this video?

Yes it does! It was precisely that video that caused me to make this post... Even in the depths of winter I'd kept a beady eye on these wee plantlets to see what they might be and they've never 'headed' into anything recognisable though. The two identical plants next to it in that border, planted at the same time and of the same age, show no sign of heading either. Is it possibel that because of the rubbish summer they just never quite got their act together and are now throwing up a few optimistic flowers??
