It is about to shed it's pod covering, how cool is that! I might blow this one up into a canvas!  |

It looks like it is ready to blow itself!

I've never grown leeks. That is such a delicate pink.

THis one is quite tall, didn't bloom at all last year. It's at least 4 feet. I leave them for the bees and butterflies. And of course, they will drop seeds and grow more.

Do they spread (re-seed) like chives?

That really is cool looking. Instead of picking it to use you are letting it go to seed?
