yes, they're scallions. Bunching onions do grow like that, not forming 
large bulbs. You can plant seeds, it's not too late. If you plant sets, be 
advised that a little bit of tricky weather will cause them to bolt to 
seed, ruining the onions.  I don't think they have sets for scallions per 
se.  You can buy any onion seeds and just harvest them before they bulb up, 
or get bunching onions.  Oriental seed companies have good varieties of 
bunching onions.  Margaret L
