My lily was doing fine when it bloomed, now it's turning brown. What's the problem?

Looks like it got sunburnt to me. Has it been hot where your at?

Some lilies are just real prone to sunburn. My Mr. Big from buggy got its poor little cells parbroiled back in May when we had an unusual 100 degree day. Every single bud looked like that and worse when they opened. Lots of leaves got burned also. I have some Star Gazers right next to Mr. Big that got the same nasty treatment.

Glad to know that can happen. Some of my Stargazers looked like that too.
