Did you know that radicchio gets flowers? Okay, so I shouldn't have let it bolt, but once it started I was curious to see what it would do (it looked rather like something from a SciFi channel promo when it started to go). First it got this weird knob-like thing on top, then it went all spiky, and now it has pretty blue-purple flowers kind of like chicory. Turns out, radicchio is Italian chicory! Saw it on Gourmet Sleuth. Go figure.
Here's the bolting radicchio. I'll post the flower shot when I finish the roll of film. (That's right, I don't have a digital camera yet.)
And here it is with flowers!
