The spring vidalia onion versions look like oversized scallions.  They have
a large head, some get as big as a medium sized regular onion, and long
green sprouts.  They are not as sweet as the full-grown variety, but they
are great in anything I've used them in.  They show up in early spring here,
before the :( short vidalia season.
