WTH, garlic -- cloves in the stem!?!

Wow, I've never had this happen -- many of the garlics have a place in the stem where new garlic "cloves"?? are popping out.  I noticed this a few weeks ago.  Today I pulled on of them -- it actually does have a garlic bulb at the bottom -- pretty small though.  I think this was one of the "regular" cloves I planted last fall.

Also, a few days ago I pulled one of the fallen-over plants -- it wasn't a bulb but instead a massive clove.  I think this was an elephant one.  It never bulbed, I guess the original clove just swelled up.  It wasn't the best garlic but it was edible.
