Original caption

These are very poisonous and DO NOT smell oniony 😔. They grow wildly in Lagos, I do not know where else. I think they're called pregnant onions. What are they? Why are they? I'm assuming one flowered nearby and it's seeds got dropped off in my house somehow. The world is coooool like that😭😭😭 #howtogrow #hownottogrow #onions
