I have Lilys growing that were planted many years ago, but I forgot the name of them all and if they are oriental or asiatic, are there ways to help tell what I've got?
I thought bloom time but I have both kinds blooming early and late so I can't go by that with all these hybrids these days.

Yeah the asiatics usually bloom in June and the orientals bloom in July and August. Also, the asiatic lilies generally don't have a fragrance to the bloom. I think the leaves on the orientals are thinner and more grass like.
