    Might be lack of water, food, the scorching sun at the moment. Lilies are greedy and thirsty especially in pots. I would give them a good dose of tomato food  :)

    Next year make sure you give them some tomato food before they flower and maybe the colour will improve.

    I grow a lot of lilies. I love them  :)

    I'm waiting for my stargazer lilies to open then the show is over for this year (apart from the day lilies which go on for quite a while). Watch out for lily beetles.
