I cleared up the grass and jasmine to find those few bulbs have multiplied they have little bulblets sticking next to them :), and the mother-bulb (the original one) have grown so huge. I believe they can grow much bigger if they were not confined with stone fences.
The one in the pic below will bear 2 sticks of flowers soon. So, I won't harvest them. What I did was putting a stick next to it, so it'll help to support the flower once it bloomed.
L-R clockwise: a cluster: consists of mom and lil' bulblets; a closer look; the waist size of bulb-mommy... |
Here are some pictures of the harvest:

see the dint on bottom left is from her bulblets |
the whole family after being decapitated. |
After the resting period, they can be planted and can be expected to bloom.
Never tried this before. Well I have 3 clusters, now I have harvested 1 of them, let see how it goes in a few months. So excited :)
