onion flowers are my favorite type of flower. when they’re in full bloom they get so pretty. i have a patch of bunching onions that i barely even eat, just keep them for the flowers each year. the patch is growing because each flower produces dozens of seeds
You can also cut the flowers off after they open, and submerge them in white vinegar for 2-3 weeks, then strain. I do this with chive flowers (packed into the jar, but not so much there’s no room for liquid) and it makes a bright pink garlic chive vinegar that is really lovely. Onion would do the same, but probs look and taste a bit different.

Ever eat the buds? Very much a delicacy. Eat them before they start to open or they get papery.
I had no idea, saving this for next year. thanks!
