The bulbs should automatically divide in your palm, and once you put them back into the earth, they will typically flower the following year. Divide rhizomes with a knife. You can trim new pieces away from the outside of the bulbs and then simply throw the old center away. Each new piece you cut should possess at least one healthy offshoot. Set your cuttings into the ground right away.
