Perennials Plant Propagation Bulbs

Spider lily bulbs, forming bulblets

Hi folks, I’ve finally started digging into all the bulbs I’ve been storing over winter and came across this surprise: the bag of spider lily bulbs I had thrown in a paper bag in a dark corner have started forming bulblets! What would be the best way to propagate? Separate now and plant individually, plant attached as is and let grow through the season and remove when lifting in the fall, or some other method?

maybe you can glean some info here .... probably wouldnt hurt if you used the latin instead ...

my guess would be that a bulb would need to be 2 or 3 years old.. before mature enough to bloom ...
