It is not, with broccoli and cauliflower you literally eat the buds, or how they are called in English, and they can of course flower.

We call them "florets", which means "small flower"

And butterflies love the flowers! All my broccoli went to flower (bolted) last year!

In English it’s called a floret. Which hints at its true form
