It is amazing, isn't it? I've never had this on my lilies, but I remember this old thread. As you can see, that Lily bloomed just fine.
As far as I know, fasciation is a temporary phenomenon. Next year it will produce normal stems.

Thanks!

"Fascinating" reading...

The lily pictured in that thread is way more bizarre than mine. To think of having that many buds on it, too! What a sight. If that were mine, IÂd advertise and charge admission. Makes me wish I hadnÂt knocked the top off mine. I have a feeling mine would not have had buds, though (or maybe it makes me feel better to say that). Even if it had, considering how short it was, I wouldnÂt have been able to see the flowers. That group of Black Beauty lilies are behind other flowers. Since they are normally very tall that works out well.

There was a link on fasciation in that thread which I read, too. In that article, I read that "This condition has been observed only when a lily plant has reached that stage of development at which time it begins to form multiple-nosed bulbs. Vigor dictates that more than one bud is to be formed within the bulb for the next year's stem growth, but if there is a failure in the formation of two or more distinct and separate buds and they are still bound together into one, the result would be the fasciated plant.".

Makes much sense. These bulbs, 3 of them, have been in the ground for maybe 4 years. I was wondering last year when they would finally produce more stems. Looks like they are trying. Seems like the orientals and related ones are so SLOW when it comes to increasing. I wish I could slow down the asiatics and speed up the orientals and orienpets.
