Guessing game

Can you identify this flower?

I'll give you a few hints. The bees love it. They buzzed around constantly while I snapped these photos this morning.

This plant grows in cooler months and is gone long before the intense heat of summer.

It's very accessible. I took these pictures in my back yard. You can also find them, in bud form harvested well before bloom, in your grocer's produce section.

It's broccoli! We got a bit lax in harvesting and all the heads started to bloom!

Never would have guessed!
Gorgeous photos. I love that second to the last one where you can see the bee's wings flapping!

I'm spoiled now. I was hovering over trying to see rollovers. :)
