  Reply | Contact  I'm no expert, but they look like asiatic type to me. Possibly Navonna. There are hundreds of varieties of lillies (all lovely imo) Are yours scented? The orientals are generally scented and orientals usually not, but there are probably lots of exceptions. Asiatic tend to have upward facing flowers, orientals are often horizontal or slightly hanging. Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you cannot, you are right.
