I have an oriental lily growing in my garden, its about 3 ft tall, nothing unusual about that, but its stem is 4 inches wide and a I/4 inch thick, and has hundreds of leaves, infact it looks quite hairy, but the big bonus is that there must be over a 100 flower buds developing on the crown. last year it was severely attacked by snails, so didn't notice anything strange
Is this a freak of nature?

Post a picture guernsey. Click on the tree icon, you'll get plenty of help/suggestions.
I've tried but the computer says no, it comes up with some text that I don't understand
Gdonkey - is it a Eucomis - pineapple lily - rather than an oriental type? It looks very similar to that. What are the flowers like or have you not had any on it before?
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
its definitely an oriental lily...
side view, looks normal
Perhaps it's just going to throw up lots of extra growth and give a great display - I hope so!
Have you had it long and what colour flowers does it have Gdonkey?

I don't know lilies but wondering about fasciation
In the sticks near Peterborough
it was a pack from B&Q, stargazer I think they are called, the ones next to it are from the same pack and are perfectly normal
