Default Is this a pup?

I guess I surely wasn't expecting any pups so early...my basjoos were quite small, and only planted outside on Memorial Day, where they had a tough time with acclimation.

I have been pulling up weeds around them (planning on making a bed around them, haven't got that far yet), and I didn't pull this, that's for sure! Is it a pup? Leaf shape and color sure makes me believe it is, as well as how close it is to the plant....

But my gosh...they were so tiny just a few months ago....to have a pup already, if that's the case, I'm AMAZED!

So, if it is, do I leave it till next year? Because they were so small "first years," I planned on potting them and bringing them inside for the first winter. Leave it on the corm?

This sure looks like a pup to me...but, aside from pics of older ones, I've never really seen one before!
