Based on looks, they are just maybe a different variety of green onion.. but they look like green onions to me except the purpleish areas…
Maybe they were lacking in specific element? I know that less/more nitrogen or phosphorus in the soil can change plants appearances… But other than that…
The biggest identifying feature I notice on these is that the tops of the leaves are flat instead of being rounded and hollow like most green onions. This reminds me of garlic chives, but these are quite thick compared to what I’m used to seeing for garlic chives, however maybe this will help someone who knows more ID them?

Based on the purple bulb and the flat blades I think it is spring garlic.

They look like Ramps
Scapes or garlic chives!
if it has little bulbils on the side, it’s [Allium scorodoprasum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allium_scorodoprasum), also known as Korean pickled-peel garlic.
However it can also be found at several parts of Europe as well as it doesn’t require a special habitat.
It has a taste almost just like the normal garlic, but one of its main attributes is that it can spread via its little bulbils.
Rotten green onions?
I’d say young garlic. Ramps have purple coloring too, but tend to have a larger bulb.
Long weird green carrots?
Ramps aren’t this thick and to early in the season for them. This is green garlic.
Garlic chives
This is what I call green onions too.
