   I have two onions going on four years now in front   
   yard flower circle.  They scape up each year.   
   Never thought to see if they have a bulb.   
      
   Course you usually can see the top of the bulb.   
   These have nothing sticking out.  Maybe I will   
   cut off their scapes next year.
