You are right, its an onion. When they bloom, the leaves die and the bulb is as big as its going to ever be.
If its an onion that didn't manage to get dug last year, it won't have a bulb. All the energy from the bulb was put into blooming.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
