No, they aren't actually we are eating the green buds. If you put a piece of
Broccoli into a glass of water for serveral days the top turns yellow (as a
vegetable it means, it's no longer fresh; as a plant it means it is going to
blossom soon.)
The blossoms itself would be yellow, but  the breeding produced a plant
which has "long-term-buds".
BTW: Cauliflower is the same species, only a variation of broccoli, near
relatives are:  Brussels Sprout and cabbage.
