It's amazing how beautiful veggies can be.

well - agree - how can you eat such a beauty...?
but it's a veg after all, lol. So maybe when you'll be making yourself a sandwich - put few of those blue petals on top of your lettuce.. lol

Lovely! Mines are quite ready yet!

anyone know if I can still eat it? or is it definately too late now?

I think it is too late....advice is to remove a few of the head for cooking and allow the remainder to go to flowers. I grew mine for the flowers so wasn't too fussed about harvesting any.
Have all the heads gone to flower?

errr well i only have the one Scots :/ but I have a few nice jerusalem ones so am looking for ward to having those

Never mind...it might bulk up a bit next year then you can try it. Enjoy your jerulsalems :)

lovely photo!!

my computer came with some wallpaper [or screen saver ~ never know which] which includes a close up of one of these ~ worth growing for the pictures alone!!

Lovely shot!

Fabulous and I agree too beautiful to eat!!!

Flower rather than feast for me too.
Great shot Stevie.
