Can Y'all help an ol' Texan identify this flower?

Hi folks,....my DW & I just returned from another visit to your beautiful state - flew to Grand Rapids, drove to Ludington and later on to Lexington for 4th of July celebration with friends there. Along the way,...while driving,...we kept seeing clumps of these flowers ....along the roadside....in ditches,....in folks yards and even some along the shoreline of Lake Huron. At first, I thought they might be Lilium philadelphicum (Wood Lily)....but they look too much like a Day Lily or Hemerocallis. Since they all looked basically identical...I'm guessing they must be a species. Sure would like to know and thought the quickest (and easiest)
way to find out would be to ask those of you in the know! Thanks a bunch in advance!

BTW - My friends gave me some small plants so I'm hopin' that our HOT Texas weather won't be too much for them! Thanks again!

That would be tiger lily or sometimes referred to as ditch lilies. Here is a link

Hemerocallis fulva! Many thanks, Loon,...they will always remind me of a great visit to Michigan!

great lily picture. spreads like crazy. keeps weeds away. i had a yard in NY where we had a million of them
growing amongst rocks and boulders, what could have been a weeded nightmare turned out to be a
pretty wildflower area. great for mommies with a million children and no time for gardening.
