Horizontal – circular layers
Vertical- slightly off centre-oval layers

Probably you might not have bothered much to appreciate this beautiful bulbous pattern… not that you cannot appreciate beauty, but this beauty makes you shed tears! 🙂
A mundane stuff in our kitchens onion is so versatile, a culinary expert will surely vouch for that.
Look at the patterns shown here! So compact and symmetric.
As you know, onion is a modified, disc-like underground stem and the pattern is formed by the fleshy scale leaves that store water, food etc for the growing bud at the centre.
We will keep the science aside for now and appreciate this beautiful layered pattern created by nature.
