Two of my garlic plants seem to have buds on them.
I've tried eating the buds - they are great stuff - an amazing way to
experience garlic.
One of the buds has dropped - and I doubt the other will go much
further. These things look like minature garlic bulbs - and look
like they may be "intended" to hit the ground without flowering -
interesting for me if so; I didn't know alliums engaged in that
sort of strawberry-style reproduction.
This page calls these things "bulbil"s:

Does anyone else have bulbils on their garlic?
