You did the right thing. The lilies looked definitely infected. Besides color break, TBV also causes mosaic in the leaves, i.e. darker or lighter green irregular sections on the main green background of the leaves. So this is the other way to check if the lilies are infected or not. The lilies infected with TBV not always show color break on the flowers, but leaf mosaic is often there.
