Wanted pregnant onion plant

Windsor, ON

Is there anyone in Canada that has a pregnant onion plant? I would really love to have one but can't find a Canadian site online. I would gladly pay plus shipping if someone could send me even a baby onion. Thanks for any help. midshadow

Thanks Mona. I have never heard of bunching onions. Since my original post a very nice DGer has sent me some pregnant onion babies. They are really sprouting now. I can't wait to share mine when they have babies. There is also a climbing onion which i am still looking for.
