Cut the older stalks back.

You might want to place in a new pot with fresh soil.

I'm at a loss as to exactly you have. If the new plants are from the same bulb then just cut off the old stem and let them grow. Or you have a variety which produces small "baby bulbs" at the base of each leaf next to the stem. These may have fallen off and are regrowing themselves. Either way just plant it in the garden. Will grow next spring. Lilies are very tough as long as they aren't water logged.

I've been searching for a description of what I've got going on in my "Easter Lily" bed... "Baby Bulbs" would just about fit the bill.

This evening, I got out there and was chopping off the dying stalks at dirt level, when I noticed these modules growing at the base of some of the stalks. I was afraid I was gonna have to write in about "odd garlic-clove-looking-thingies", cuz I couldn't for the LIFE of me describe these little growths.

I started out about 4 years ago by planting a couple of potted Easter Lilies. Now they've taken over about half of my 4' round flower bed. And in all this time, I've never seen these growths growing at the bases of the spent stalks.

Are they some sort of above-ground bulbs? Do I need to be doing something with them? Planting them? Refrigerating them?

Thanks in advance!

Those are bulblets and will eventually grow into full-sized bulbs. It's your choice. You can throw them out if you have more Easter lilies than you want, you can plant them in with your existing lilies, or put them somewhere else. Some of the bigger ones will produce their first flower next year.

I'm surprised you haven't seen this before. If you were cutting the stems off instead of pulling them out, you perhaps just didn't notice them.
