Description

The listing, A Pregnant Onion "Baby" has ended.

This plant is ODD and UNUSUAL aswell as fun to grow. I Will send one "baby" a little smaller than the size of the one in the forth picture. This Plant also known as a False Sea onion or Ornithogalum longibracteatum. Not the kind of onion you eat, but its not poisonous. It will flower usually and produce seeds if watered regualarly in the fall. The flowers are really pretty aswell growing very tall.

A house plant in colder Zones as It can't take alot of frost. A very easy plant because it can take neglect with long period of drought once established.

Its called a Pregnant Onion because the "babies" grow under the skin and then pop out.

I thought about getting this but it seems that its poisonous to cats :(

I was reading up on this and apperently it is poisonous, but I was always under the impression that it was harmless. I've know cats to attack this plant and even eat it and been fine. I have had this plant for over 10 year and have had lots of cats as kittens too, and a few children and never had any one of them have eaten it and get sick let alone die. I think people worry too much about poisonous plants, they are usually nasty tasting and hard to ingest, or will get trown up.

It seems like cats will eat anything lol But I will keep this plant in mind for another time. I know that you post one now and then ;-)

Good luck to everyone!

Cats are funny, While they often turn their nose up at perfectly good food. they also will sometimes eat poisonous stuff. I couldent find any info on how much a cat would have to eat to harm it, or of any cases of cat death due to eating a pregnant onion. I know my brother's cat likes to eat theirs and is still OK.

Thanks so much!! It's true they are super easy. Apperently they can be killed, I have given them to friends that have said they somehow managed to let them die. They can't go forever without water. :)
