Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but a garlic plant grows some form of a “seed” head, that will have miniature round bulbs in it if they aren’t clipped off that, it’s my understanding, when they are planted they’ll grow like this in the first year and into a normal garlic bulb year two. I’ve never experimented enough to know if I’m correct, but if my info is correct I’d guess either one of those got mixed in by mistake, or if your planting in the same spot as the year prior one might’ve just fallen off.

bulbils
not always, but yes
this is a mutation though, and I’ve seen this kind of “single clove” garlic in the shops
I got one of those this year. I grow hard neck and must have missed the scape on this one.
The bulb and the “seed head”(?) in the pic are the same plant, just bent in half so both are visible
