I love these little curiosities that turn up in our gardens now and then. Are these bulbils on an onion stem?

this is the thing, I posted a pic somewhere on my homepage of this in its first stages of growth. It was 3 joined bulbs given to me and they grew into what I thought was yet more chives but they had little sacs at the top and out popped yet more chive like strands and this is the most recent pic...more bulbs!!

Yes, they're having babies. You can remove the bulbils and plant them.
