Thanks for posting Art. Learn something every day. I never knew about these type of onions. Do they have a sweet taste?
Cheers,

Onions [1 Attachment]
It?s not Valentine?s Day, but I came across this Sierra Flat-stemmed onion
(Alium platycaule). They like rocky volcanic soil and appear soon after snowmelt. This one wasn?t
blooming yet, but will soon. Nice purple/pink flowers. The onions are
marble-sized, and taste pretty good. They are definitely NOT a threatened
species. Some slopes will have hundreds of them.
