Orange Tigers go white!

Fifteen years ago I bought the most beautiful bright orange tiger lillies. I have been growing them successfully every year since 1995 with the same bulbs. We have them planted in one pot, because back then I only bought 2 of the lillies. They had begun to spread and outgrow their container so we were going to transplant. My husband took the plants and separated the bulbils. I was so excited to have so many nice bulbils. Planted them in several pots and was awaiting glorious blooms of radiant orange. Imagine my surprise when the first one bloomed white. I thought it was a fluke. EVERY single one has bloomed white, not an orange one anywhere! What happened?
