How many seeds in an onion flower?

How many seeds should I expect from an onion flower?

[songbird]

the head can hold many individual flowers so do you mean the entire head or an actual individual flower?

if you mean the head it would be from a few to a few hundred or even a thousand or more (some of my larger onions get very large flower heads with many many flowers).

i haven't looked it up to know for sure so i don't know if this varies by cultivar or type of onion.

my guess is that each flower of the common onions i grow has six seeds.

now i'm going to go look it up. :)

i'm not having much luck on exact numbers so i will pull one out of the air. :) it will be a multiple of three. so three, or six seeds per flower seems to be about what i can remember.

these two links have some interesting information:

Sounds like one is all I need to replant!

Thank you!
