It is a bit small, but it looks like it is starting to yellow.

    It looks just past. Best eating quality, the head is still firm (you can’t easily put a finger down through it).

    Edit: just past prime, still good to eat

    That bright green in the centers is just the color of the youngest buds. They’ll fade to that darker glaucous blue-green as they mature and will then open up into yellow flowers. The outer buds mature first, and when they’re starting to get bigger and less densely-packed like that it’s a sign that it’s just about to shooting up and opening the flowers, so it should definitely be harvested.

    Yep. I’m honestly lucky if I get them to this size. Idk how people get the really large heads.
