catz--

That "hairy" plant is my one and only "Climbing Onion". It is NOT an onion at all. Check PF....Not sure it is there--but everything seems to be here.
It is on a tiny windowsill right now--in my cool, darkish basement....totally dry! (reminds me--I should go water it...)
I pretty much ignore it all winter--but that is when it grows all these fronds. They are soft and succulent and very fragile. From a distance--they look like Asparagus fern.
If I had the support--these fronds would "climb" to 4-5 feet.

Last Summer--FINALLY--the big bulb started splitting off a new one.
I used to have a couple of these--but shared them when people were begging to have one.

Gere it is last winter . I "staged" it to show the fronds
