Chives Going To Seed?

[Coffee's For Closers]

Hey, everybody, long time no write...

I've got some chives that seem to be blossoming. It is a sort of
spherical thingy on the tip, with a bundle of purple bumps. It
is only happening on a few of them.

Can anyone advise about how to get through the cycle to have some
viable seeds?

BTW, it is late springtime in this hemisphere, and the chives
were planted maybe two or three months ago. So they may be
reacting to the weather. I haven't cut/eaten any of them,
because of wanting them to get better established.

Thanks...

You don't have to do anything. They'll manage to produce viable seeds
all by themselves.
BTW, those mauve blossoms are quite edible, nice in salads.
