White fuzzy stuff on my lily buds and stems.
Without a photo, my guess would be mealybugs. They have a cottony white appearance. Insecticides often do not help, but sometimes Neem Oil does. (Neem Oil will also help if its powdery mildew.) Beneficial insects in the garden will help control mealybugs. Here is more info:

It's a tiny skyline Asiatic lily.
This is showing a very classic symptom of overwatering, leading to fungal infection. Most of the time, this will not lead to the death of the plant but will affect it until dormancy. You can help them along by adding just a 1/4 cup of DOLOMITIC LIME and a full tablespoon of WETTABLE SULFUR to the soil around it. This will help kill off the infection and condition the soil.
I would also hold off on watering until the top 2 or 3 inches of soil is COMPLETELY DRY. You can check with the tip of your finger. This will prevent overwatering in the future, but the rain should be more than enough to keep it healthy. If you get large amounts of rainfall each year, then you may want to apply the treatment mentioned twice per year.

I planted some asciatic lilies last year. This year I noticed new plants blooming which look like asciatic lily plants but they are growing to be really tall! What are these? Some kind of lilies or weed? Please see attached pictures.
This looks to be an Asiatic lily. They tend to get this tall when in proper conditions.

These surround my house and have been here years. They grow long stalks that have white flowers at the ends. They don't smell garlicky, can't tell if it smells oniony or not.
If they were onions, they would smell like onions. Plus, onions wouldn't come back every year. The closest I can find without a photo of the actual bloom is perhaps the "pregnant onion," Albuca bracteata, but it is usually grown as a houseplant. I would suggest calling your local cooperative extension agent as they would be familiar with what is growing in your area.
I just received some lily bulbs. Being that we are having very hot weather, I do not want to plant them now until the weather cools down. How do I store my bulbs until that time. I live in zone 5B
This will be much like storing them for Winter. The important thing will be to plant During Autumn. This will give them time to establish so that they will flower the following summer.

How can I store my lily bulbs until the weather is cool enough to plant. (It's 95degrees now and early July). I live in zone 5B
I planted these Stargazer Lily Bulbs this spring and they just bloomed today. I think I might have over fertilized them or it has been too hot/sunny for them. Any advice?
It could be overfertilized. The only way to know will be to test your soil, which should be done before fertilizing to make sure that it needs it. It could be overwatering, or disease, too. A soil test will confirm whether the nutrients and pH are in range. If they are, then it could be disease.
