There's one.
A few weeks ago it started to look like it was going to bloom, same quickly-grown long stem, but this time it's making seeds, and not flowers.
Could this be its last hoorah? We don't "need" seeds—it splits in the pot, or rather spawns little onions off the side of itself. If anyone knows, please leave me a note. ------------------------- 2021 update...
I still have the original mom and lots of babies.
Twice it has made seeds instead of flowers (seeds or something). Other times, dozens of times now, flowers.
I want to leave links here so I don't need to look it up every time. This is an old discussion with some good points and interesting questions.
Plan them just barely under soil and let them decide how much to stick up. The peeling outside layer is normal and fine. Sometimes the bulblets have a stem growing already even before they break the skin or fall off. Usually not. (No one had answered that one, either.)

There is some historical info there, and the German name.
