Well cool, but I do think they look like visiting aliens from some onion shaped planet. Nice work.

Great composition - the onions sticking up there like that make me laugh! My only suggestion would be to blur the background more and lose the fence. Well done.

That's really interesting! Is it really onions? I can hardly believe it.....

@Koushiro~光子郎: OK Koushiro, you have convinced me that I need to show a picture of the entire onion plant. The photo above is of the top of the onion plant. The bulb is at ground level or often below ground. This is the onion we are used to seeing. But, the green stem is often used in Salads and other dishes. The top of the plant shown here is the flower head. I hope that makes sense.
