Mary Sue: I've been growing W. bulbifera, or maybe W. coccinea, in Davis for years with no apparent bulbil formation up on the inflorescence axis...it's not invasive here, and so far it hasn't spread in the Russian river planting. But I do remove the corms every so often for sale (right now I'm embarrassed and will delete it from catalog, depending on answer to question below). Is it possible that the orangish Watsonia that I have is not bulbifera or that it is a question of climate that determines bulbil formation?
