    I got one of those this year. I grow hard neck and must have missed the scape on this one.

    The bulb and the “seed head”(?) in the pic are the same plant, just bent in half so both are visible

        Haha yeah sorry that’s a bad pic. The scape is the curly thing that grows off the top of the plant in the spring, and then and flowers. If you’re growing garlic, you’d normally cut the scape so that the plant puts more energy into the bulb instead of the flower. Here’s a pic of the whole thing:
