ONION UPDATE!
Here are a few pictures of Mr. Stinky and how his growth has progressed over the summer with very little care and absolutely no fertilizer

As you can see, he grew and grew until the blooms on the two sprouting stems opened with tiny, tiny pistils. Now the long alien-like stems are started to sag and dry ... sort of like the skin under my upper arms.
I'm wondering, though, if I let him stay there until next year, if he'll bloom again. Or better yet sprout baby onions. Anyone know?
If that happens I'll have to rename him Ms. Stinky.
Stay cool.

Mr. Stinky is looking good there Diana. Look up Aliums online.
They are related to onions.

Why not ask resident Asbury Press gardening writer/contributor Margaret Crooks..I remember she had a local cable program years ago I watched and still see her columns in APP.
that's a possibility or I can just look on the Web. Here's a site Pete offered of flowering plants related to onions:
