After my Easter Lilys had bloomed out, I set them aside to fade away and let them replenish the bulbs.
Every last one of them has done what you see in the picture. Some put up 2 and 3 new shoots.
One (not pictured) is now much larger than the origanal Easter Lily...
Some are showing new flower buds growing at the top of the "new" plants.
Is this normal?
What should I do?

Congratulation. This is not normal, but larger bulbs may do this on occation. But definitetely not normal.
Oh, that's cool.
I love having big bulbs...
lol
7 out of 7 pots put up 1 to 3 new plants each...
Now, see how tall the orignal Lily plant is and see how it is getting a bit (or more) yellow about half way down?
My first thought was to cut the older plants back but that would be cutting away the part of the plant that seems to be doing best...
So, what do you think I should do?
Don't cut back the lilies. They need the nutrients produced by the foliage to rebloom.
You could consider repotting the lilies in fresh soil as the lower leaves may have something to do with nutrient deficiency. I would think fertilizing with fresh fertilizer would be one way to boost them, but it could also be early stages of boytris.
OK kd that makes sence...
Re-pot I will, tomorow.
I guess I will look-up boytris tonight.
The one Easter Lily that I DID re-pot around Easter time is the one that looks fine. It is also the one that "re-sprouted" first and the sprout is now much larger than the orignal (grouth retardent treated, no doubt) lily.
The re-potted one is pictured below.
