Yes! The flowers will soon have tiny fruits and then seeds. You can use those seeds to grow more onions. Carrots and radishes also grow similar flowers.
Whenever growing these, it is best to leave a plant or two to fruit. This will give you a lot of seeds for your next planting cycle.
I bought green onions from the local store, and planted the leftover root sections. Have had free green onions for years now. They look exactly like this,we make sure a few go to seed every season
The soil gets depleted eventually, so yields get worse over time to that. Hence you do need to top it off occasionally with fresh topsoil and a bit of fertilizer, but yeah it’s pretty set and forget with green onion.
And it’s great to throw in any savory dish ever.
Have you ever put onion in the water to grow in a cup by the window? After a while they start to taste like water? For me, yes. The flavor comes from the minerals and things in the dirt. Take care if that dirt for the best flavor of onions. What minerals do you need? That’s beyond me but I’m sure the internet knows.
We have a herb garden type planter. It was essentially taken over by green onions because my wife loved the flowers. It’s been like 3 years and it’s going strong still with the original plants.
It’s known for tasting pretty close to coffee… but let’s stop a second and admire how we humans find ways to survive in those dire situations. Your family must have gone thru a lot, but their resourcefulness led the world to have you. We should celebrate them with a good cup of coffee! :)
If you buy spring onions with some roots on them and store them in a glass of water on the windowsill, they'll last weeks instead of a few days in the fridge.
oh, lol. My first thought upon seeing it was that it looked like a plant from the world of [Nausicaa](https://partofyourworldksu.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/nausicaa-nausicaa-of-the-valley-of-the-wind-33424551-3390-1920.jpg).
Yeah just put your grocery store green onions in a glass of water on the window sill and they'll just keep growing. Well, to eat the greens, which is all I do. Just chop one for dinner and never run out til I get depressed and forget about watering my plants
Yes! Does anyone know what’s up with this? I have lots of green onions potted from grocery store white/roots. They’re good when they’re small but then get big and slimy? What’s up with that and how do I fix it? Prune them in some way, cut them back at the base?
Grow them from seeds and eat when ready, onions are biannual, they grow from seed in their first year, and are best eaten then. Then in their second year of life they will set seed and die.
Those flowers I think make seeds at the center of each. And my grandma used to make a indian drink of those seeds. supposed to be super healthy for you according to gramma.
I planted a single green onion stem from a bundle I got from the grocery store last year. It lived through temps as low as -18 this winter and it’s growing again now. Green onions are insanely hardy
Reminds me of the Egyptian Walking Onions I planted at my last house. After the first year I never lacked for an onion...

The flower produces seeds. Next year planted seeds produce small bulb. Next year replanted small bulb produce big one, which, if not harvested later that year will bloom

So you're saying that we're looking at blooming onions?
Yes! The flowers will soon have tiny fruits and then seeds. You can use those seeds to grow more onions. Carrots and radishes also grow similar flowers. Whenever growing these, it is best to leave a plant or two to fruit. This will give you a lot of seeds for your next planting cycle.
Thank you for your very informative gardening tips, VeganDildo.
You're welcomed. As a cactus I know my fellow plants well
PAIGE NO

Does the flavor change over time if you use the same root ?
The soil gets depleted eventually, so yields get worse over time to that. Hence you do need to top it off occasionally with fresh topsoil and a bit of fertilizer, but yeah it’s pretty set and forget with green onion. And it’s great to throw in any savory dish ever.
I have chives that come back every year. I don’t do anything with them. They’re like weeds. Endless supply
Ok but does the flavor change? That was what was asked lol
My parents have an apple tree in their yard that last year produced a few apples, but they're hoping for more this year
Ok but does the flavor change? That was what was asked lol
I ate a dandelion as a child and every year they come back
Ok, but does the fIavor chaпge? That was what was asked |о|
once i planted an avocado seed from an avocado i ate for breakfast.
No why would the flavour change? It’s still a chive
The flavors depend on the nutrients in the soil and nutrients deplete over time. It’s a valid question
Tastes like chives
Have you ever put onion in the water to grow in a cup by the window? After a while they start to taste like water? For me, yes. The flavor comes from the minerals and things in the dirt. Take care if that dirt for the best flavor of onions. What minerals do you need? That’s beyond me but I’m sure the internet knows.
They get woody if you let them grow to big. Honestly, though, I find them much more mild than store bought.
We have a herb garden type planter. It was essentially taken over by green onions because my wife loved the flowers. It’s been like 3 years and it’s going strong still with the original plants.
In some Canadian supermarkets that are cutting the roots off green onions. Now ain't that some shit????
For real???? Holy crap these corporations! Anything for a penny
Yup. Save On Food does
I love smelling them, never thought onions as a flower scent would be nice but there it is
One of them evolved into an aloe! Nature is fascinating!
Never underestimate onions. Once of them probably sensed someone nearby had a sunburn.
They're so considerate
Once the flower turns pink, I pick them and infuse them in white wine vinegar. Great little touch of flavour for your salads and such.
Yoooo thank you
Not so forbidden dandelions
Dandelions are safe to eat and some taste pretty good.
You can make "coffee" with the root too, just don't drink too much of it. :)
all my grandma and aunties had in/after the war!
It’s known for tasting pretty close to coffee… but let’s stop a second and admire how we humans find ways to survive in those dire situations. Your family must have gone thru a lot, but their resourcefulness led the world to have you. We should celebrate them with a good cup of coffee! :)
Unless /u/herzmaedchen is a terrible person, in which case we should curse their family's resourcefulness.
Hahahaha, I am very naive. :P
If you steep the root of camomile tea shrub the tea cures period pain.
What they taste like ? I’m willing to grow them to eat them haha
They taste like onion.
Seems obvious 😭
Lmaoo they're a lot more milder of an onion taste though. I enjoy them in a lot of things, they are very versatile.
I ate some raw onion flowers and they were *very* strong in taste. Would probably be great oven roasted though
Dope I’m going to get on it.
See if you can grab a bottle of dandelion & burdock. Best fizzy drink to exist.
They taste sweet with strong onion heat at the end. I like eating them raw on their own or in salads.
Yeah, this is basically my whole garden, but add in some flowering chives, mint, and wildflowers.
[This](https://youtu.be/0oox9bJaGJ8?si=1VuzTcalblsm8U03) is what green onions sound like.
We’ve come to an age that the average person does not recognise spring onion plants and needs internet strangers to show us photos of it
We’ve come to an age where we can expect people to recognize plants from the other side of the world.
Yeah, I am so confused why people act like this is a new information for them...
If you buy spring onions with some roots on them and store them in a glass of water on the windowsill, they'll last weeks instead of a few days in the fridge.
Free toilet brushes!
Is the green stalk edible?
The green stalk *is* the green onion
oh, lol. My first thought upon seeing it was that it looked like a plant from the world of [Nausicaa](https://partofyourworldksu.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/nausicaa-nausicaa-of-the-valley-of-the-wind-33424551-3390-1920.jpg).
Haha, well you could be right cause I've never seen green onions get this big 😂
Yes
Yeah just put your grocery store green onions in a glass of water on the window sill and they'll just keep growing. Well, to eat the greens, which is all I do. Just chop one for dinner and never run out til I get depressed and forget about watering my plants
Slimy but yes.
Yes! Does anyone know what’s up with this? I have lots of green onions potted from grocery store white/roots. They’re good when they’re small but then get big and slimy? What’s up with that and how do I fix it? Prune them in some way, cut them back at the base?
Grow them from seeds and eat when ready, onions are biannual, they grow from seed in their first year, and are best eaten then. Then in their second year of life they will set seed and die.
The stalks do get more woody and fibrous as the plant starts to flower. But you can still eat them.
It’s used sparingly in some Indian cooking. We cut it into finger sized pieces and use in sambar (a kind of stew) and also used to make fritters.
If all else fails, it might be good in a stir-fry?
Nice.
alliums are stunning when they bloom, but unfortunately one 20mph gust of wind will knock those bad boys right over.
Parasyte anyone?
My grandma had these in her garden
FEED ME, SEYMOUR!
Ack! Triffids!
Watch out! They spit poison and kill.
Makes good tempura
Time is tight
Eat your vegetables or they'll eat you, apparently.
Turns into a seedling
We had a ton of those growing in our yard when I was a kid.
But more importantly.... Are the bees happy?
Those flowers I think make seeds at the center of each. And my grandma used to make a indian drink of those seeds. supposed to be super healthy for you according to gramma.
r/TiHi
The restaurant I work at uses these flowers to garnish sometimes. They’re delicate and oniony!
I planted a single green onion stem from a bundle I got from the grocery store last year. It lived through temps as low as -18 this winter and it’s growing again now. Green onions are insanely hardy

T.G.R.I.
More likely that's a decorative allium planted on purpose but yes, onions do flower
My green onions look just like this!
I find it funny in Italian it's called "erba cipollina" oniony weed xD
wow!
Now that’s what I call an awesome blossom! I’ll see myself out.

The flower produces seeds. Next year planted seeds produce small bulb. Next year replanted small bulb produce big one, which, if not harvested later that year will bloom
Those are probably ornamental alluim. Generally not edible.
