Eternal leeks

My aunt grows these. Each leek has a lot of little seedling leeks growing around it. When you harvest a full-grown leek, you put the little seedlings back in the ground, hence: eternal leeks.

However, Google has not helped me out here. Maybe other people call these by another name.

It would not be the first time I found that outsiders don't know a word that was legal tender within my family. My grandmother coined the words "coeb" and "jubal", and I was at least twelve when I discovered that no-one else knew these little beauties.

A coeb (pronounced "koyb") is a little grain of sleep in the corner of one's eye. It's an initialism from Corner Of Eye Ball. Example usage: "You've got a coeb", then point.

The jubal is the entire area of the upper lip, starting from the bottom of the nose, all the way to the mouth. I think she invented it to disambiguate "upper lip", which can mean either the jubal, or the different-coloured flesh along the top of the mouth. A worthy task, disambiguation.
