Several lilies began to wilt and turn yellow. When I bumped them the broke off at ground level. I found that the stems were hollow. They looked rotted out from the inside, but maybe something ate them from the inside?

These were extra lilies and I'd popped them into a fallow part of the garden that had rotted cow manure put onto it last fall. Could that have contributed?

TIA
