Hello Wally
Yes, far as I know, they are bulbs,
Then, I have several views on this....
I did order alot of bulbs this
spring,
Orientals, Orienpets, Asians, Stargazer's,
etc. I did notice when I potted them up in
pots to get the roots going before I had an
area to grow them ready, and that the roots
did grow from the stems down into the dirt
if the pot that I had them in was too small.
So, it did seem that they did and would root
from the stem, my only hesitation in answering
this is, I'm not sure how far up the stem
it would root...?????? There may be a limit to
it's area to produce roots.
Also, as I've said to alot of new gardeners,
I experiment alot, or the lack of doing something
also produces another outcome....
So try it, it's hard to loose a
plant(traumatic for me, I hate to do it butt....)
But that's how you learn! Really,
by doing, or the lack of doing you find out results.
Have fun, and let us know the out come.....

lee valley tools This site has little pots for sale, I think there was 5 in a set. for like $8 or $12 bucks,
can't remember now, but you clamp them around the
stem, and fill with dirt and close it up.
alot easier than bags I think, and reusable!!!
