Lilies: Stem count vs. Bulb number, 1 by Leftwood

Undivided multiple nose lily bulbs will always produce multiple stems. The quantity of stems corresponds with the number of noses the bulb possesses. All stems emerge similtaneousely in early spring. One bulb nose = One stem.

For those who are a little perplexed about noses, I wish I would have photographed a multiple nose bulb, but this http://www.lilies.org/propagation.html will have to suffice. The drawing shows a four nose bulb.

Pictured on the right is a L. formosanum I received from a fellow gardener. (Verification of its identity may be up for debate.) Notice it has two stems, and one bulb nose, even after the production of the second stem.

Indeed, single nose bulbs of L. xformolongi, and perhaps L. formosanum, have the propensity to produce more than one lily stem per season. (xformolongi is a cross of L. longiflorum and L. formosanum.) However, growth of these multiple stems are not initiated similtaneous. Additional stems begin growth later, and at varying times. Consequently, growth in the first part of the season is identical to any other lily's seasonal pattern :

That is, one bulb nose = one stem.

Or is it? Is this phenomenon of multiple stems per single bulb nose more common than I realize? In another thread, there was an inkling of just that. So . . .

Have you experience said multiple growth from one bulb with one nose? And on what lily?
