I had some fun with Hugh’s challenge this week; to post a photo of something that is/was ‘unused.’ I was not happy with the background of my original image, so I tried playing with it using dreamscope.
The original photo was taken a few years ago. One day, I happened to need some onions for a recipe. After opening up my cupboard, I discovered an unusual surprise. An ‘unused’ bunch of cooking onions had created new life. I just had to take a photo of it, but with no thought of placing the basket of new growth in a more photogenic environment. I was not able to use the bulbs since they were too soft and starting to rot. Thanks Hugh for the interesting topic.
Stuff and what if... 
awesome results – that almost stained glass look

Nice one. Even when we kill our plants they struggle to live in spite of us. Like potatoes

You are so right, Lindy. I realized it also after I posted it. It also fits Hugh’s past challenge of “What’s in your cupboard.’

I’ve discovered those kind of surprises too, although I didn’t think to take photos of them. I love the special effects you applied to the photo!

Thanks, Trisha. I agree with you that I’ve also lost some photo moments in the past by not taking that shot and it’s usual because other people are around or in the moment I think it’s too mundane. Thanks for commenting.

Hi Olga, thanks for participating in my weekly photo challenge.
Your photo bought back memories of when I was at school and we grew plants by placing an onion on top of an open jar filed with water. After a few days the onion produced roots and then, to our surprise, it started sprouting a stem and leaves. I can’t remember if it flowered.
Great effects from the photography software you have used. I like the result very much.
