I saw this one in the nursery and HAD to have it, but it came without a tag to identify the cultivar. The tips of the petals are more mauve and less reddish than the photo shows. The blooms are about 4 inches across.
Mystery cultivar
Is the lily fairly short? I'd guess it's Denia
It's about 18 inches tall.
The lilies in your photo look too pink. The tones in mine are actually quite muted and lean more towards purple/mauve than pink.
Yours may darken up next year.. :)
I found another photo of Denia here:

And they're far too short and too pale to be my flower. Close, but no cigar.
It turns out that "Italia" and "Pixie Pink" are pretty close, too, but I'm not persuaded. Maybe I can contact the vendor and find out.
