Moby, I bought Lilium szovitsianum as a dinky two year old seedling in 2004 mail order (Arrowhead Alpines). The two bulbs pictured came from the one original plant. I am not sure when it had split off another nose, but it had been sending up two sprouts for a few years now. If you look at the open spot on the left side of the big bulb, you can kinda see where another nose has been developing for at least two seasons, although it is has not sent up a sprout yet.

I have to admit, the thought did cross my mind to sample a scale. (I know that's probably not what you meant, though.) But I didn't.These bulbs "look" a little woody, and just aren't as enticing as the lighter colored ones.
