Are these baby bulbs viable?

I'm putting Peacock Orchids from last year into pots I've found that each bulb has formed dozens of tiny ones
Shall I just discard these? 
Thanks for any insights

    They won't flower for a few years but you could pot them up and grow them on 


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    They are gladioli family. If you grow on the little ones they should flower in three years or so.

    Thanks
    can't be bothered

    As the entire collection of about 15 plants gave me one flower last year I would prefer they concentrated their energy for producing flowers rather than dozens of bulbs below ground
