Today’s photos show a flowering escellion plant in our vegetable garden.
Most persons do not know that escellion plants actually bloom because they’ve never seen them do. I think we reap our escellions early before they get the chance to flower.
Escellions (Allium fistulosum var. bulbifera) fall under the categories of vegetables and herbs. They are also called Japanese Bunching Onions, Scallions, Welsh Onions, Spring Onions, and Salad Onions.
In Jamaica, we use escellions to season almost everything from scrambled eggs to pork. Some persons even add chopped escellions to their vegetable salads but I don’t like eating them raw.
The flowers on our escellion are white and fragrant, they smell just like crushed escellion stems.
Here are a few more photos of our flowering escellion:
