BirdieBlue - I think your orange daylily is just the common "Ditch Lily" aka Hemercallis flava. One of the earliest to bloom, very hardy and multiplies well.

Here's a "lily porn" picture taken just a few minutes ago. At first I tried it with the "natural" light from the sodium vapor streetlight ... but that ended up being an ugly, sickly yellow-orange color. So I switched on the flash to reveal the true colors. And it has a delicious fragrance .... Lilium regale ...
