The wild ones are weird. The blossoms create sets rather than seeds on
the top of the plant.

I'm still learning about Onions!

I originally harvested the wild ones locally next to a river in
Georgetown Texas.

Too late this year to take pics. I must remember next spring.

Sounds like Catawissa onions, a native American type of walking onion very
similar to the Old World native Egyptian onion.
