AHA!!!! There are FOUR bulbs now!!!
Took it a few years to start splitting--really! Maybe they do not like being divided?
Gotta give this plant a bigger pot, though. Then again--these type of plants will just multiply on top of
itself till it is a heap if these bulbs--all in a pile...

They had one at Rawlings--it was bizarre! Not sure if it was the Pregnant Onion--or the Climbing Onion--
but the 8" pot looked like an ice cream cone with many dips of ice cream stacked on top of each other.

edited to say---
I just remembered something---I heard or read somewhere.....
When these "onions" grow 2 stems out of the bulb's tip--it means the "onion" will be splitting in two.
Seems that was correct!
