I've planted lilies on my allotment to use as cut flowers for the house. I also grow lilies in containers in the garden, but I can't bear to cut flowers for the house from the garden.

Whatever they are called I loved hers, and yours are amazing too!

The Lilium pardalinum is relatively easy to grow from seed if you have the time and space to get it going. I grew a bunch a few years ago and gave most of them all away. It's never bloomed in my garden, including the bulbs I bought on the market. Sigh. Nice bouquet!

A spotted tiger? Probably a plant named by a botanist and not a zoologist... I remember my first face to face encounter in the wilds with one of these large lilies (I don't remember the species now). The plants were taller than I was, and surrounded by mountain azaleas. Totally jaw-dropping--nothing subtle about that experience. Like your comment on the lily. A spotted tiger?

Ah, great minds think alike. This lily was the first on my list for this month, and I'm getting lots of bloom (I hope). Yeah, the common name is confusing, but then, it's common ;-> Happy bloom day Ryan! Ah, great minds think alike.
