Looks like an onion, or maybe a leek, or even a garlic to me.  C'mon Ina, spill the beans!  ;D

Had me fooled too. I thought it was a load of Brussel Sprouts glued to something. I was going to complain about the horrible waste of the lovely vegetable. Maybe I'll have to leave a leek in now!

Have never seen a leek gone to seed before, Ina - had me stumped.  Like Aqui I msut try to leave a few in the ground and see what happens.

Most members of the alium family flower like that, think of the ornamental ones we grow in our gardens and think of the little flowers on chives.  Wonderfull pompoms of colour first, then those great seed heads.  Great pic, Ina - you are quite a star photographer.  ;D
