And here is what the "onions" look like looking down on the pot.
Sorry that the pictures are so small. This was before I learned all about uploading and sizing, etc....

Pretty much the same as the "Pregnant Onion", just that they do not multiply and split as quickly. Takes a couple of years!

See how they only have ONE stem growing out of the tip of the "onion"?
I read somewhere that if they grow TWO--that means the Mama onion is gonna split that year. I am waiting--as mine definitely had two frond-stems this year.
