     it might flower if the conditions are right.   
   it may not be suitable for your soil or climate   
   (they usually like pretty good soil).

     not quite, you need to make sure there is some of the basal   
   area where roots come out of (this is common among most bulb   
   species) whereas potatoes will grow from any point on the   
   potato that has an eye.   
      
     commonly it's just not worth it because the onions often   
   have so many seeds from flowers that will grow that it's a   
   waste of something edible to do that.
