Starting up on a cold day

Ok, ok so cold day is relative cause I live in So Cal and cold means 40 degrees but the question is the same.

This is my first carbureted vehicle and when I started it the other day it was revving and I assumed the choke was on. I let it go for about a minute and then blipped the gas and it returned to a normal idle. I assume this is normal but....

1. If I let it sit and did not blip the gas, would it automatically go to a normal idle?

2. How long do I let it warm up for?

3. Is this the correct way to start it up?
