| I have a few pics of a perennial and wondered how I post pics on this forum. I have been gardening for years but have never run across this plant. I recently moved which means I didn't plant this one. It's been a surprise every day that I look at it.
Can anyone advise how/if I can post pictures here. Thanks! |

| Thanks Paulsiu! Hopefully the link below works. What the heck is this thing? |

| You can also try something like this: img src="url" Replace the url with the url of your picture. Begin the line with < and then end it with />. When you hit preview, it should appear in our article. Your plant, do you think it's a nodding onion? |

| It close to a nodding onion. Very close, except that the flower has a very long green protruding tail as part of it... I'm closer than I was before. I'll look at the different types of nodding onion and see what I can find out. Thanks! and thanks for the url lesson too! |

| Looks like a walking onion to me. If so, it is a perennial edible. So-called walking because as the heavy head bends down to the earth it will root (over and over, thus walking). |

| just a guess?? if not a onion maybe a garlic?? what dose it smell like ?? |
|
| boston3381, there is no smell. I was just checking some pics of the allium from a garlic and it looks very similar. Every pic I've seen though doesn't have the long tail at the top of the bud (tail like an onion or garlic gets when it you starts to sprout in the pantry). This tail and the outer later is drying up and shedding, just like the outside paper layer of an onion. |
|
| donnabaskets, the heavy head does 'not' bend down to the earth. It started out on a spiral stem and as the head starts to mature the spiral stem begins to straighten. Now that it's opening, shedding the outer later, the stem is straight vertical and the head is completely upright. |
|
| It's probably a garlic. Here's what a young garlic looks like:
When they grow into a flower it may look like this:
When they flower, they look like this (color may vary)

| Paulsiu, that's exactly what it is! Yea, I finally have an answer. It hasn't actually flowered yet but it's ready to. Thanks so much for helping me figure this one out. Something so simple and yet I didn't have a clue. |
