How do you identify an orange lily?
Field Guide. Orange daylily is a perennial lily with stout, fleshy roots, straplike leaves, and tall flower stalks that don’t branch below the inflorescence. The flowers are terminal on branched stalks, erect, with 3 sepals and 3 petals of dull orange color, the sepals slightly smaller, spreading, to 3½ inches long. Lily ‘Orange County’, a single coloured asiatic lily with a slightly downward curl to the petals, makes simplicity work for it. The strong almost tangerine orange bloom is stunning in its understatement and will draw attention from anyone who views it in the garden, in a container or as a cut flower in a vase.
