Torrential rain broke my new OT to about 4 inches tall :0(

I didn't think I'd need to stake them, but I was wrong. I planted my first Orienpets, and today we had torrential rains that produced 6" of rain locally. And I came home to see that my first bloom of Red Hot was toppled to the ground and the stalk broken to about 4 inches. :0(

If I cut it down to where it is broken, will it stand a chance of blooming next year? I know lilies are not supposed to be cut down more than 1/3 their height. I will go out and stake all my new lilies tomorrow. Phyl
