The HORROR! The HORROR: Egyptian Walking Onions
July 10, 2016 at 10:35 am (This post was last modified: July 10, 2016 at 10:37 am by vorlon13.)
Hard to consider it's true, I realize.

We consider plants, and vegetables in particular, as to be IMMOBILE.


And now this new abomination comes lurching to menace us in our false perceptions !!!!!!!!!!!



Granted, they don't move very fast,







YET,




but evolution is presumably aware faster locomotion would be advantageous so it's just a matter of time before we become the prey for this clear and present dangerous vegetable !!!!!

Imagine out for an innocent Sunday stroll through the garden, and then to be engulfed by the likes of this !!!

Quote: Tree onion bulblets will sprout and grow while still on the original stalk, which may bend down under the weight of the new growth and take root some distance from the parent plant, giving rise to the name "walking onion".

So, no.

Disturbing, no??

Plant something in the garden, and later on, it's SOMEWHERE ELSE !!!!!!!

When we get to sprinting asparagus, let me know, because THAT would be terrifying.
