What is this white hairy thing on my lilies?

Monroe, WA

Are these normal? Or should I toss them out?It's supposed to be a tiger lily. I also notice these hairy thing in some of the buds of my other lily plants. Please help!

Aelana, that fuzz is normal on some varieties and nothing to worry about. Its more prominent on some, and mine that have it tend to lose it somewhat as they mature. It does look sort of like mealybugs at a glance and I've had a sudden panic over it before. Its typical on tiger lilies and some with tiger lily genes in their parentage.
