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.

I've heard them called "walking onions" in the past. :-)
The Border Collie has cut my patch size down a bit so I did not harvest
any this year. I let them all go to top sets, and re-fenced an area off
for them.

My McNabb's penchant for rutting in the lettuce patch was curbed with a
motion activated sprinkler. Smart dogs.
