Lynn, have added some more interesting plants to my garden. I know they are not succulents or cactus, but I now have 2 large pregnant onions with babies. I just love those things.

Marti, you are just having so much fun with your gardening adventure. Can you give us a link to the thread where you will post them?
It is called Ornithogalum longibracteatum and I see that many people in colder climates grow them as house plants.
I notice we don't have any photos in the database for that plant. Do you think you could take some photos and add them here. Pregnant Onion (Albuca bracteata)
Also here is some more information if you would like to add to data details. And you would even earn acorns for doing it.

I'll try to get pictures tomorrow of mine.

Great Marti. You will be getting acorns for your contributions to the database.
You can buy an ATP mug or tee shirt with your acorns.

Have some babies on mine too. but not very good (me) for not giving it more attention.
Marti, you post yours, then I'll post the pic. I have, of mine.

Pregnant onion! I had one of those about 30 years ago, gave it away when we moved from Alaska to Oregon along with almost all of my other houseplants. I called it the PGO.

Great photo Charleen. Here is a great place to post those PGO photos. Lee Anne will love seeing them in her House Plants Forum. http://garden.org/forums/view/...
Marti you are doubly blessed in that you can grow them indoors or outdoors where you live. : )

I went out this morning and not a single semp was pulled up. The bird netting is working.

What is the weather like for all of you this week?
We still haven't had any frost. Periods of rain and sun. Today and tomorrow are suppose to be sunny and in the mid 60's.

If I grew these outdoors, I bet they would freeze. O.. Thanks Lynn.

Yes they would freeze in your area Charleen.

I sent her a note, going to send her one.

Well, I added a photo and information in the plant data base. Just waiting for it to be OK'd.
Will add the photo here also!

Very nice one, Marti. Beautiful plant.

For all interested in Pregnant Onions:
Let me introduce you to Ornithoglaeum longibracteatum, or as many people call it, a Pregnant Onion or False Sea Onion. This interesting plant is not a true onion and is poisonous to eat. Some people have developed a skin rash from handling the plant. The pregnant onion is from the Hyacinthaceae family and is found in many countries such as South Africa, the Mediterranean area, Central and Eastern Europe and Western Asia. And anywhere else it has been introduced as a house plant.

The Pregnant Onion asexual production of bulbils is what makes this plant so interesting. The bulbils are formed under the skin of the large onion like bulb and as the skin dries the bulbils drop to the ground where they take root. It can also be grow from seeds that are collected after the plant flowers and the seed pods are allowed to dry on the plant.

It grows well in Zones 9A – 10 B outdoors, either in the ground or in pots. Also makes for an interesting houseplant if you have the room. Leaves have been known to get up to 4 feet long with a flower stem up to 6 feet long. It is an evergreen plant the requires average watering and can tolerate even less water, as in some climates it will live off the water in the bulb for long periods of no water. The Pregnant Onion prefers sun to partial shade.

Wow, Marti I found your database entry. Now go post all of your above information as a comment for that entry and you will get another acorn.

I'm splitting this from this thread and creating it's own thread so it won't be lost and moving it to the Container Forum. : )
