I let my lettuce & greens go to seeds from my winter garden for the first time this year, hoping to start saving my favorite seeds. I can't believe the beautiful purple flower that bloomed today from what I belive to be my french curly endive. It is the most amazing and beautiful surprise in my garden! Has anyone seen this? Here is link with a photo of mine:
