a daylily or hemorocallis is a perennial and comes from a rhizome, they grow in 'fans' of leaves, and the blooms are on a leafless stalk, and the flower lasts only 1 day. thus 'day'lily. a lily or lilium grows from a bulb. it has one stalk of flowers with the leaves and blossoms all on the one stalk. the blooms last for up to a week or more. there are different types of lilies such as asiatic, oriental, orienpet, trumpet, asiapet, and species lilies.
this is just an amateurs description. i hope it helps a bit.
