Your orange tiger is the species, L. lancifolium (aka L. tigrinum). It naturally has "bulbils" on the stem. The pink tiger is a hybrid of the species with other genes introduced. Simply put, they are not the same lily! That said, there are some other hybrids out there that do get bulbils on the stem. The bulbils are like miniature bulbs and can be planted when they are ready to come loose from the stem.

Some people refer to them as "seeds" on the stem but that is an incorrect description.

Thank you I was guessing something like that. Like some hybrids are sterile.
If I wanted more pink would I do that by removing some outside scales? and when is the best time to do such a thing?

You can remove a couple of healthy scales in the fall. Try to break them off as close to the basal plate (flattish base where roots come out) as you can. Wash and let dry a bit then put in slightly damp peat moss or vermiculite (not soggy). I use plastic baggies for this. Press material tight against scale, set aside and wait a few months. Scale bulbets should form along the edge where you broke the scale off.

Phoebe , she is my daughters chinchilla. My daughter moved out a couple years ago and Phoebe stayed.
She is a sweet animal and makes a great pet.
I changed my avatar here on ATP because I was getting confused where I was jumping from site to sight. *Blush*
