Hi! Any idea on what those are? I found them in my raised bed while preparing it for the spring season. They look like little onions but have the texture of potatoes.
I live in Georgia, USA.
Scallions are just baby onions. If you let the shoot continue to grow it will become an onion.
That is highly variable based on which type of green onion you’ve got and they don’t literally turn into onions. Some just grow large, onion-like bulbs.
If they smell garlicky they’re probably Allium vineale.
Most likely it’s Allium canadense. Quite tasty to cook with or put in salads. My grandmother used to make a jam with them that we ate on toast.

In principle, probably fine. But also, I’m new to the area. I don’t know the climate region. In fact, this is a relatively new continent to me… Maybe I’m too cautious for not eating them but also… Yer shouldn’t eat what yer don’t knoo.
Potentially grape hyacinth?
There’s a few flowering bulbs that have leaves similar to that. Do you see any blossoms emerging from any of them? I’m in North Carolina and I just saw the first grape hyacinth flowers yesterday.
Ran your photo through a plant detection app (Picture This) and got the result Star of Bethlehem. They do grow in your area, and do be careful because the bulbs are toxic!
If these are indeed Star of Bethlehem, you should be able to confirm the identification when they bloom. The flowers would look like this:
So this is by now about 1 month over due. But you were indeed correct. These were Stars of Bethlehem. Relevant picture attached.
