Completely missed your post, Jo Ann!
The yellowing leaves look to me like a fungal disease infection rather than virus. More likely it is a botrytis type fungus than a bulb infection, but I rarely have leaf diseases on lilies, so I am not very experienced.

Yes Joe, all that variation from a single seed pod! Kwazy indeed! Who woulda thought? Really makes me wonder what the martagon parentage is for Super Tsing and Amelita. I don't think I'll ever know for sure, regarding contamination. The only other possible suitor would be Terrace City, which would have introduced L. hansonii into the picture, too. Any orange would had to have come from tsingtauense, but the combinations of characteristics in individual plants are quite inconclusive.

That one you liked was the most difficult to photograph to get a truer rendition. It's not a flash photo, but taken at a much lower exposure than normal. Even so, I still couldn't get it perfect: the nectaries are more greenish yellow.
