dont do any digging up or dividing now. they're too far along. give them a wee bit of bulb food just as the "eyes appear", then a wee bit more once the flowering is done. and don't remove the scales if you can avoid it. that's where the bulbs energy is stored. if you do remove some scales you can plant them and in a few years you'll have more new bulbs. probably take a good 3-4 year before they flower though. if you do decide to dig them up its a good idea to wait until the stems die back. you'll notice they've nearly doubled in size since you planted them and they have spawned all kinds of off shoots as well. we have left ours in the ground for 3-4 years at a time and they grow to be the size of grapefruits with stems that are nearly 1.5 inches thick. you will be able to clearly see where the bulbs "want" to be divided, if you choose to do so. the bulb will amazingly resemble a human brain. an oblong shape with a very distinct center groove down the middle telling you exactly where to separate the two halves. replant the new halves in the fall and next year you'll get a single stem per bulb again. the "bulbettes" spoken about above will darn near be full sized bulbs themselves. replant them as you see fit. free plants!!
