Very cool plant specimens at headquarters. I saw some of these "nodding onions", wonder if they are edible and tasty?? From WP: "Allium cernuum is edible and has a strong onion flavor, and has often been used in cooking. This species is also cultivated in many places. for its attractive flowers.[16]" - NICE!!
