Last year when the 'Boogie Woogie' lilies I had purchased in 2003 bloomed 2 stalks bloomed a solid pale yellow and the other stalk had the pale red edging it was supposed to have. This year all 3 stalks are blooming pale yellow with no red lining. It is a beautiful moonlight yellow but that red edging really makes the flower special. Does anybody have any idea why this would happen? Last year I blamed it on the bulbs being new but that is not the case this year. It doesn't get much direct sun, just a few hours in the morning but gets very bright indirect light the rest of the day.

The stalks are all vigorous and healthy looking. They stand between 5' and 6' tall and have lush, deep green foliage. The blooms are lovely as they are but.......

I will probably email the supplier to see if they can explain it.

It does have the most exquisite jasmine scent.
