Apparently seed is a rare occurrence with these, they normally don't set viable seed. " Although the Egyptian Walking Onion is a top-setting onion, it will occasionally produce miniature flowers among its topsets, so you'd look for them there. The flowers are only about 1/4" wide. They have 6 white petals and 6 stamens. Each petal has a vertical pea-green stripe. Most of the flowers dry up and wither as the topsets fiercly compete with them for energy. Result is Egyptian Walking Onion seed is a rarity".
