Hello, I wouldn't have thought the wet would do this, it does look diseased in some way, but what, I'm not sure.

Don't think it is the weather. We have had a really warm dry spring/summer in Scotland, my lillies in pots are fine, but I have a few in the ground which look exactly like yours. I'll watch this post with interest.

It looks like a fungal disease. Personally I would cut them down and destroy the infected plants to stop it spreading.

did they look as if they'd got mildew before the brown areas appeared, Alastair?
