    One of my Lilies has turned to copper all the way up the stem and the leaves.There is a cluster of 6 lilies and it is affecting just one of them.The others seem to be ok but I am stumped by this copper one...quite pretty really in contrast to the green but I don't think it's very well :eek: Any help would be appreciated...is it diseased or shall I pull them all out and forget about them. :( I have a photograph if you want to see it in jpeg format.Thanks folks.. ;)

    Hi and welcome. Yes, a picture would be very helpful. Does it look unhealthy as the colour might simply be because that one is a darker coloured lily than the others- have they flowered or are they new ones?

    Hi Krafty - that does not look good. It could be a virus - but whatever, I would remove it away from the others. If it was me, I would destroy it - just to safeguard the others - but putting it in a pot in another part of the garden and observing may be an option.
