They are onion Plants. There are sets, seeds, seedlings (usually grown yourself) and plants. Plants are the most successful for me. Plant right away if the time is right in your area. They can take a light frost. If you have to hold them make sure they do not mold. Hydrogen peroxide and water sprinkled on they should help.

onion plants. and as long as they are the short day type they should bulb for you. do you know what type of onion seeds you started in the past? they may not have been the right type for your area and that could explain why they did not bulb. if they were a long day type those are for northern areas. intermediate can grow either in the north or south with little issues.

Talking thru my hat, here.

Because, they don't grow in this neck of the woods.

Could they be ramps - Allium tricoccum [click]?

It's hard to tell from the picture but since you are in Oklahoma they may be a type of multiplying onion if you got them at a farmers market. There are many different types of multipliers common in Oklahoma gardens, usually passed over the fence from one garden to another. The only way to be sure is plant them and see what happens. Onions, whatever they turn out to be, are always useful.
