Dierama corms

Yesterday my husband dug up some Dierama that had planted itself in an
undesirable spot and had been there for years. I am wondering about
whether I should send them to Bridget for the October BX. In the
wonderful article from Cameron McMaster he wrote for Farmers Weekly I
added to the

he wrote:
"It’s more important to re-invigorate clumps of corms by periodically
digging them up, splitting them up and removing the old dead basal
corms. They should then be replanted 50mm to 100mm deep, depending on
the size,
and 50mm or more apart to allow for each corm to clump up without
over-crowding."
I never tried to figure out the species of the ones I grow that were
here when we moved here and then reseeded to new spots. Most are summer
rainfall species, but this one tolerates winter rainfall (and sometimes
a lot of it)  and dry summers we have in Northern California. I added
photos of it to the wiki here:

So my question is, should I send corms to Bridget and if so should I
remove some of the lower corms. Does anyone have any experience with this?
