Broccoli flowering?

I'm new at growing broccoli, so I wasn't quite ready for what I found this morning. The "buds" at the bottom of the central head/cluster on the plant has some opening buds with yellow on the inside. It looks like it is trying to flower. I pulled them off (like pinching on a basil plant), but now I'm wondering if the thing is bolting. The plants are fairly young, and were planted about 1 to 1 and half months ago.

The weather hasn't gotten hotter lately. In fact, the past few days have been cooler. I wondering if I should cut this central head, and maybe other shoots with heads will grow.

S.O.S. Thanks.
