Sorry, didn't realize those images wouldn't work. Try these:

{{gwi:366939}}

That looks exactly like what I dug up at my parents and the people here said it was Elephant Garlic, so that's probably what you have too :)

Thanks for the reassurance. I guess I'll have to plant some this fall and see how I like it!

That is elephant garlic next year take the flower stalk off long before it blooms and it will get bigger.

That looks about identical to what I often end up with in a single season up here. Since yours were originally planted "a few years ago", it may be a second or third year plant which started from seed. Elephant garlic produces viable seed so that's quite possible.

Thanks for the tip GarlicLady.

Martin, I guess i should have described the pictures a little more. The first picture is of a clove. There were several of those cloves clumped together around the main stem in the head. It looked somewhat like a larger version of Music that I'm familiar with.

Now I can't wait to plant these and see how well they do!
