Perhaps Rhodococcus fascians which causes similar effects in broad leaf plants?

Hello, Gene. 

This looks like a version of fasciation, no? Caused hypothetically by the 
interplay of temperature, light and nutrition; the problem is always to repeat 
the interplay in a lab. And no one says there's only one formula. 

... I send this flippant response because I have encountered fasciation several 
times in my garden lilies; they all returned to their traditional form a year 
later; and when I tried to recreate fasciation by simple manipulations, I 
failed. 

Fasciation is complex but it does appear that your lilies are in its temporary 
grip.
