No more buds--just the flowerhead will get a little taller. Keep in mind L regale is sold as a species and with this species there is a lot of variation in many different ways so if you have lots of them, you'll see a lot of these differences I speak of. My approach with L. regale was to buy lots of them, then I picked out the ones I liked best for myself and gave the rest away. They are prone to fasciation and some repeatedly, which I got rid of. Some divide excessively, too, resulting in more plants than flowers--which I also got rid of. But overall, they're very tolerant/resistant to most common lily diseases, especially botrytis because of their relatively narrow leaves and the best for last---they are just downright beautiful..

Watch the cigarette around lilies, though. Tobacco commonly carries a mosaic virus which can infect lilies. Just to be safe wash your hands before handling bulbs, etc. and don't let anyone discard butts containing unburned tobacco around your lilies. Thumbs up
