As I was weeding my front bed with some Black Magic Elephant Ears in it I noticed one clump was sending out runners, coming from the center of the clump! I have never seen this before when growing them in pots .. this was the first year I had put one in the ground. Is this normal?

Will these surface runners create bulbs? Is there a special name for these structures? Do all colocasia do this?
