And welcome to the (real) lily forum. I think what you have is probably more of what we call stem bulblets than actual scales--or possibly both. Anyway, that's kind of immaterial right now. The important thing is you've got some little ones started. As the season progresses and these grow more to maturity, don't be surprised if they start to turn yellow and go near dormant at some point. That's natural so don't over water or fertilize when they do that. The bulbs will always be there, safe and sound, even though it looks like nothings going on. Come late November, early December, these will be ready to transplant in your garden. In the meantime, I see you could add a little more soil or compost to your pots and maybe fertilize a little ever so lightly. Keep your pots out of the hot, direct sun. Don't forget to post pictures and ask questions when you can. Again,
