The small bulblets are called "corms", and take two years to grow enough to 
divide into cloves. As a a member of the leek group, "elephant" garlic has a 
slightly different array of reproductive schemes, but has a lot in common 
with hardneck garlic, except neither the strength of flavor nor the medicinal 
qualities. It is pretty good for baking as a whole bulb.
