Most of Layer 7 Peeled from the Larger Bulb
Surprisingly the Layer surrounding the smaller section is thicker than that around the larger. Do we more tightly protect the smaller, perhaps the more sensitive, components of ourselves?
Both parts are still together. Per my fears expressed here yesterday, I find it interesting that it never occurred to me to trust that the basal structure (in onion language) would, in fact, keep the parts intact. It was difficult to peel off the layers between the structures. Note the resulting bruising.
The onion with all the pieces peeled away this seventh day. I love the way the smaller section, though apart, curves over and looks down on the larger part of itself.

Sheila,
Photos of onion 8/12 – who knew an onion could be so “artistically” beautiful?
the photo with the black background and the one you used the special technique on are really lovely. I won’t look at this rather common vegetable in quite the same way ever again. Your commentary also provided a great deal of food for thought today.
Appreciatively,
Lauren
