Is this a tiger lilly

I posted this on the id forum but no one knows what it is, I have been looking at pics of tiger lillies and think this may be one is it ?

Definately not a tiger lily - tigers are a kind of day lily. They grow wild around here on Long Island!

No, I would say these bright orange beauties are asiatic lillies. I have lots of them in my gardens, only mine are bright red, yellow, and magenta.

Very pretty!!

Thankyou, this means my peach ones coming into bloom must be asiatic also. Thankyou for your help, I thought I had all oriental lillies but this year I had two types come up.

Here is a link to a Tiger Lily:

You have them in all kind of different colors.

Yours is just an Asiatic Lily that some people call Tiger Lily when they have speckled petals.

Hello:

I think your lily is "Brunello", asiatic. I was just looking at all the bulb sites, perusing for making the big purchase. You may check out "brentandbeckysbulbs.com" This is not an endorsement.

Also, you can look over "dutchbulbs.com" and "dutchgardens.com"; again, I've not done business with any of these places, but the pictures are wonderful to behold.

I agree.....you have an asiatic lily. Not sure which one.

Tiger lilies are not daylilies. They are lilium tigrinum (sp). The old fashion tiger lilies are orange with recurved petals and dark freckles. Newer hybrids come in pink, white, yellow, salmon & red.

veeja3, theses are difinetly Asiatic Lilies. I used to work on a farm that was owned and operated by a dutchman. We grew many asiatic and oriental lilies. There in probably over 100 different asiatics and the orange ones in you picture where very common for the cut flower market but the name I can't remember as we grew so many different one. This was one of the neatest jobs I ever had, it was growing a garden only on a big scale.

Where was this farm in Oregon?

definitely Asiatic. you can tell by the flower and the foilage.

I can understand the confusion. I bought a pack of mixed L. tigrinum and so far two look like orange Asiatics and the third is yellow, more pendulus and black spotted like the one in the photo. The last has not bloomed, but it looks like only one is actually a tiger lily.

bleek, the farm is in Woodland Washington. The name of the farm is Holland America Blub Farms Inc. It is about thirty five miles from where I live on the Columbia River bottom land. Only paid a little over minimum wages but it was fun cause I got to drive tractors around all day. I was like a big kid in a toy store. Only bad thing is the ducthman was not a good man to work for.

I met him 2 years ago.....he is from the same area in Holland I am from.......pretty big outfit.......grows good quality bulbs.

Here is a picture of my yellow tiger lily I took this morning. The orange behind it is an Asiatic.

Badseed, I love the yellow one. Does it produce bulbils?

I was looking today and so far I don't see any. I just planted that one in the fall. It is supposed to have three friends! LOL I have some others in the back that have been there for probably 3 years. They always produce stems with bulbils and no flowers! LOL It does look like they are gonna bloom this year! I hope they are something other than orange!

The yellow Tiger looks like Citronella to me. A real beauty!

lcpldevildog209, you are quite right - a tiger lily is its own kind of lily, not a daylily. I stand corrected!

My tiger lillies have foliage that looks very similar to daylily foliage - that's why I was confused.

Sorry for the confusion!
