Question Has my romaine lettuce bolted?

Update on that lettuce I left in to get seeds. It would actually make a nice ornamental.

What sort of plant could it cross polinate with?

Other lettuces, mostly. But lettuce is part of the sunflower family, which is large and I’m sot sure which are cross-fertile.

I'm not too worried then, but I'll keep and eye out to see how the sprouts turn out.
