I'm sending this to my entire list I have for the gardening thread. Why?

BECAUSE THE EGYPTIAN WALKING ONIONS HAVE GROWTH ON TOP THAT IS TURNED LIKE IT'S GOING TO THE GROUND.

There is a new growth type on a number of these plants and this new growth is bending over at the top. They have to grow bulbs at the ends before they fall over, but I see no bulbs yet. However, this is the first I've seen of this new growth at the top - it's different looking growth.

These walking onions are fantastic plant creatures, put on this earth to always make onions. That is just so special.

I’ve never grown anything but chives, so this is new to me.

I think they sound awfully neat. One doesn’t often think of plants as “walking” to another locations.LOL

LOL. I just spied your post again, and all of a sudden I got this visual image of an giant onion kinda like Tree Beard, in Lord of the rings, One of the trees had fire in the upper branches, and it bent over and dunked it’s head into the water. LOL

Yay for the walking onions! If I don’t get reincarnated as a turnip, I’d like to be an Egyptian walking onion!
