OK, picture of lilies.



Originally this was in a tiny pot and was a leaving present for Mrs Z 7 years ago.  I literally rescued it from the bin (where Mrs Z had dumped it when it finished flowering) and now it's in a half barrel.  In the third week of June every year, it looks like this.  It never gets fed and it sits outside all winter.

Bloody hell! Did all of that sprout from 1 plant?
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

Yes.  The bulbs (or are they corms? I forget) keep multiplying underground.  I tried to split it a couple of years ago, but it's a solid mass in there.

I've got some lilies that I brought from our old flat so I must have had them at least 4 years but they don't seem to have multiplied with the same vigour as yours, more's the pity.
