My mom picked this up as a NOID at a flower show in Columbia SC two months ago, does anyone by chance know what it is? I humbly say I'm sorrry if it's a common place lily, but it would be nice to be able to tag it for her. Thank you I appreciate anyone's help

It looks a lot like Loretto, an Asiatic lily. I grew it for a few years before giving it away.

But there could be others that are similar that I do not know about. Loretto looks pretty close. LOoretto is a tetraploid (double the normal number of chromosomes) giving the petals a very heavy "substance", meaning thickness and strength.
OK, the photo didn't show up. Just use Google image and enter Loretto lily.
wow I really appreciate your input! very interesting...I am off to go google it...thank you for responding...

It's really 'Loreto' by the way, often misspelled 'Loretto.' Here is a link to a picture in the lily register website.
