blasting lily buds? #413476

Asked July 11, 2017, 3:26 PM EDT

every year I have one or two lily plants with buds that blast and fail to develop fully, the plants are generally healthy- no leaf yellowing or lily beetles, and it can happen on either the oriental and the trumpet lilies. What could be causing it?

We viewed your photo. This does not look like an insect or disease issue.
 It is not uncommon for this to occur due to the heat and high temperatures.
