OH, my goodness, Gourd!!! So nice of you to remember that....

I still have the Pregnant Onion and it still makes a lot of babies.
I need to re-pot it--it has been 3 years,,,,,

Right now--it is sitting by the small window in my Laundry Room.
It pretty much lives there in a dormant state. Once in a while--I water it.

I used to have a Climbing Onion too--but I think I over watered it--and the bulb rotted out.
No wonder--when i was tossing it and cleaning out the pot--it had NO drainage hole!
Sorry to have lost that--it is almost mor interesting than the pregnant Onion.
This one makes bright green, soft/succulent, fern-like growths. They look just
like Asparagus Fern--but are soft. Hmmmm---Is that what YOU have?
I am seeing that long, skinny growth coming out of the "onion"...

A pregnant Onion would not have that--it has fairly stiff leaves.

Look in PF--I am sure you can find it....
Thabjs for the memories....Gita

found a picture--from April, 2010. A real beauty...
