Only hardneck garlic flowers. If it's a softneck you'll just get leaves. When they yellow and wilt, it's time to get digging (stop watering up to 2 weeks before to allow the earth around the bulbs to dry out - clay will need 2+ weeks, sandy soils less).
This is combination of experience plus advice from the garlic farm people who were at Hampton Court flower show a week ago

Great!
I planted some garlics obtained from a garlic farm a few years ago, just because I like the flowers. Every year leaves come up tall, never flower, fall over and wilt. What am I doing wrong?
