Default Flowering Onions

Help!!

I bought some red onion sets and planted them a couple of months a goand they were going great. Now I have noticed they have flower buds atthe top of one of the stalks. Have they bolted or is this natural?

Never grown these onions before so not sure what to expect.

Any advice greatly received!


That's what onions do. They are not bolting. Snip off the buds, however, and
put them in the wok (call them "Lily Buds"). You don't need them to put
their effort into making seeds.
