Photo of Crenum Lily question??

Hi guys!
I got a bunch of bulbs from a co-op here at DG(YAY!!☻), and as I was getting then unpacked and ready to plant, I found a second little stalk coming out of the Crenum bulb. My gardening friend who was helping me plant them thought I should divide and plant as 2 little bulbs,but I'm just not sure, and as I only got 2 of these little guys, and it is a smaller bulb anyway, I wanted some advice before I go dividing anything! She laughed a little and told me to let her know what the consensus was, but she is using my DG for more and more stuff, I think I almost got her to join in on the fun here!!

Anyway, if this was your little Crenum, would you plant as is, or divide it, and plant as 2? And if dividing is the thing to do -- how? I knew the Crenum bulbs would be smaller, but they really are little things....like a quarter the size of the other bulbs...I really don't want to hurt it as they are my first Species lilies ever and I am so excited to see those blooms!!

TIA for the help! Off to plant all the others....
