where the onion grows

Recently, I discovered that you can grow an onion from an onion. This is a typical red onion that was bought in a grocery story. I also learned that, left to its own vices, the onion will start to sprout, using the bulb as its food source. I decided to do a little science experiment. I planted the sprouting bulb to see what would happen. The once albino green leaves from the lack of sunlight are now a deep forest green and growing quite nicely. I am not sure what will become of the rogue onion just yet. We will wait to see how well it does.
