No harm to the plant, and it's not likely to bloom like that again.

If you have ever seen the fantail willow, Salix sachalinensis 'Sekka'. this is an example of a plant that almost always fasciates.

The lily experts on here will probably know more than I, but from my understanding, the cause of fasciation is not known for sure. It usually happens on more mature lilies, and usually lilies under good culture. I think one theory is the lilies are growing so fast several stems combine into one. You'll see lots of flowers on it, too. I tseems genetics has a role in it.

Other people think it's a result of frost damage, chemical damage, or a certain period where the bulbs are just ready to split, and great growth occurs.

But it should not hurt the lily in anyway, so just enjoy.

Love Ceres. I've seen so many different pictures of it, with so many degrees of color variation, but yours is lovely.

Valley Girl is gorgeous!

I checked the Lindas on Google as they were no longer listed with Brent and Beckys.Its not the same lily as what blooms here.
Does anyone grow Lindas? Do they look like mine?
What is mine?

I think the lily you have pictured on the right, above, is what several vendors were hawking as Jacqueline. http://www.thefind.com/search?...
Your lily is Loretto. Whick looks just like this http://www.whiteflowerfarm.com...

That's why is best to purchase lilies from the people that actually grow them right here in the states or Canada.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand-basket?

Thanks again Moby.These were from Brent and Becky.Many of my bulbs from them are great.2 times they have been misslabled.
Once was 5 bulbs of (supposed to be Lady Alice) They actually were a species Regal. Love the blooms on these six footers.Brent and Beck gave me a credit.
Loretto is great.I have 5 ,couldnt buy less at B&B 's.All are in pots and will find appropriate omes with the DL's when I see what colors they are.
Its what I call the Garden Dance.
