Parsley Flowering

Earlier this year I purchased two parsley plants to grow in my garden. I read somewhere that it is great for attracting benneficial creatures. To my surprise they have grown quite a bit since the day I purchased them. Further, the parsley plant has grown what looks to be flowers at the tip of these really thick stems.

On the internet I have found several discussions in regard to these flowers. Apparently, it is best to cut the flower stems off as the continued growth will cause the parsley to taste bitter. I've already done this in the Spring, but the flowers have grown ten fold since then. I wonder when the flowering period will cease.
