Only one set of blooms per stem, I'm afraid - that's your lot until next year. Remove spent flowers unless you want the seeds, and feed a bit while dying back to plump up the bulbs for next year. They'll vanish quite quickly.
Best to cut off the seed heads so that the bulbs put their energy into growing rather than producing seed and when all the leaves have died trim the stems to the base of the plant.
They can have a feed or two while they're dying back - as you would with any bulb, especially if in pots. In the ground I don't do anything to my lilies, although they sometimes get access to Blood Fish and Bone because other planting is getting it. You can repot once they've become congested. Split them into smaller clumps and repot, or plant out.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
