Nodding Onion

Nodding Onion
Allium cernuum

Wild populations of this plant are uncommon, but it is often a part of prairie restoration seed mixes, so it's population may be increasing.  A key feature is that the flower raceme "nods", unlike other Allium species.  Also, the leaves are flat like grass leaves.

The flowers aren't quite nodding yet, but they will.
