The message
from "Dwayne" contains these words:

I was watching a garden show on TV this AM, and there was an article on
garlic. A gentleman said he bought garlic that made the cloves in the
ground and smaller ones on the top. He said he could plant or use the
small
cloves that came out on top the same as he did the ones in the ground.

We call that plant Egyptian, Tree or walking onions; they taste like
onion/shallotts and can be used like onion/shallots/garlic. They don't
taste or smell like garlic.

I've had 'tree' onions in the past (I'd like some again!) but what I have is
definitely garlic. I googled and found that the little bulbs are 'bulbils'
and can be planted.
