I have this lily labeled as Orania, but a number of people have mentioned that it doesn't look like their Orania. Any idea of what it is? The base color is almost white and the edges are apricot. About 4' tall this year with 6" blooms. Very light frag.

Hum...it might be. Here's the Lily Nook's pic of Orania. Mine hasn't bloomed yet. Yours doesn't seem to have the recurve that in the LN pic, but the colors look about right; perhaps a bit faded.
The buds on this one seem to be more apricot than yours too.
Susan, I would not think it's Orania. Don't have any idea what it is however. Orania is very outfacing, yours looks like upward facing. My Orania buds were quite pink, and the backs of the flowers were flushed pink. Plus my Oranias are not any where near ready to bloom. We are Z5. I have them down as blooming mid July. Yours looks more like an Asiatic, or LA. Polly
Looks more like asiatic 'Menorca' to me.
Thanks everyone. 'Menorca' does look real close, only this one is aprcot only on the outer edges and not in the center. Guess I'll just enjoy it as another of my many unknowns.

Hmmmm, I supposedly have Menorca, and mine doesn't look like this. However, it's becoming not unusual for me to have misnamed lilies or so I'm finding out. :) lol
