I have five pots with chives in them. The problem is that they are so

Do they ever grow flowers? Pink or white ones?

I have over 30 8" pots outside full of the stuff. I dont know what to
do with them, I've already given one to every neighbor and still 2
dozen to go. They look extremely full, lush, and the past month had a
huge display of violet flowers (the flowers dont smell too good,
unless you like onion ).

Fill a jar with chive flowers, cover with white vinegar and let seep for
a few days. Decant into a fancy bottle, add a couple fresh flowers for
decoration and you have lavender colored chive flavored herb vinegar for
use or gifts.
