Sounds as though you have a walking onion. If it gets larger than bunching onions it may be an Egyptian onion. The little bulbils make great pickled onions and can be included whole (peeled) in many relishes. It's called walking onion because as the stems fall over they root in place so that the plant seems to be slowly walking across the garden.

Your question is not clear. What are you asking. Are you saying that you have a plant that you think might be garlic but you do not know if it is garlic and you want to eat it.

I live more than 1000 miles away from your plant. what makes you think my opinion of your unseen plant is better than the view of someone who can see the plant???

If you eat the plant and die will I be held responsible for murder ????

Just what exactly are you asking. What do you want to achieve. Why not do your own research. Why not ask someone local. Where did you get this plant. etc.

You give no real info and you expect to accept a life and death decision from strangers thousands of miles away.

Strange behavior.

deblee - perhaps if you were to post a picture of this plant someone may be able to identify it for you.

Both garlic and numerous topsetting onions can have bulbils like that. If the bulbils have a distinct 'garlicky' flavor, and the plants have flat leaves, it is some sort of garlic.

To complicate things, there are types of flat-leaved onion cultivars as well. In truth, it can be hard to say if a particular edible allium is a 'garlic' or an 'onion', as there are so many and the characteristics shade into each other.

gardendawgie I don't think anyone takes your opinion seriously anyway. You should go see a doctor about those flakes er ah chips on your shoulders or the growth on your nose or what ever is bothering you instead of taking it out on other members. Someone who actually has some experience may be able to ID this plant with the info given and possibly already has.
If it's not a walking onion then a picture would help.

Her description was perfectly clear to me. dollars to donuts this is your plant.

Here is a link that might be useful: walking onion

Classic description of a walking onion. They also make good scallions in early spring and are used by flower arrangers as line material! I grow them in the flower garden.

I had a small variety of walking onion in Oklahoma. They multiplied in the clump faster than any onion I ever saw. The row was about 20 feet long. Each time I needed some I would pull the whole clump and plant one back in the hole. By the time I got to the end of the row the ones at the beginning would have another clump ready for pulling. They more than made up for their small size in fast reproduction. The bulbils at the stem were just a bonus.

Yes, I believe it is walking onion or Egyptian onion. I was told that very information a few years ago but my pea brain did not hold on to it. I will try frying it up with mushrooms and won't throw it out like I did gardendawgie's reply. Thank you for your responses.
