Hi firstyard,
Nice vase of lilies, you are lucky to have so many flowering. I agree they are best on their own, being so big and fragrant.
If you have them in a mixed bunch, they are usually reduced to 1 lily per stem and maybe a bud.
It is possible to 'borrow' another stem from something like Hypericum, the stems are hollow.
Fill the hollow stem with water and plug it with some cotton wool. You will be able to insert your lily into the stem, then tape it together.
Quite often you will see that with foam arrangements using lilies, they are placed low, with such a big flower the balance is better when cut short. Hope this helps.
Cheers!
