What is the difference between an Asiatic Lily and an Oriental Lily?

Asiatic and Oriental lilies bloom at different times,therefore extending the lily blooming time.Seems like the Asiatic bloom first but I can't recall right off.

The Asiatic lilies are appr.2-3 feet tall and most of them are unscented.They bloom a long time.
The Oriental lilies can grew from about 18 inches to several feet tall depending on the cultivar.They all have fragrance.
