Time To Plant

"Time To Plant"

This neglected onion started sprouting to get my attention and I waited until the greenery looked interesting and decided to paint it.  I think onions are beautiful when they sprout and the onion begins to wither as the greenery grows stronger.  

I've heard that you can plant an onion in this stage and it will grow a new onion but that doesn't make sense to me so I'm not going to bother.  If any of you have done this successfully, let me know.

    1. Thank you Hilda. I think I am going to plant it after all. I looked online and the flowers are beautiful so even if I don't get an onion, I'll have the flower. ; )
