Roosterlorn said:New introduction by H.W.Hyde & Son, 2015. When I went to scale the bulb for safety back-up, I found two bulblets the size of a green pea behind a couple outer scales. A third even smaller bulblet about the size of a BB pellet fell out from somewhere; so small I wasn't even going to plant it--but here it is---growing. Easiest 'back-up' job I ever did.

UPDATE: Sept. 29th, 2015.

Question: New growth recently started about one inch (2.5cm) from main stem on two of these little ones. Is this a new second bulblet starting or is this just the original bulblet traveling around? Also, note that all the leaves on each are facing the same direction--like they are coming from the same side of the bulb. I think that is kind of different. Anyway, I think I'm having pretty good luck with these little ones so far.
