What you have is a DAYlily (Hemerocallis) ~ the blooms only last a day. They have long, grass-like foliage growing directly out of the soil from fibrous roots.

Lilies (Lilium, also called True Lilies), have much finer foliage growing directly from an erect stem, which comes from a scaly bulb growing underground. The flowers can last several days.

There is a forum just for daylilies with lots of useful information and helpful folks. :)
