I think these are Orienpet lilies, which are a hybrid of Oriental and Trumpet lilies. This one is a very soft yellow with ivory. I think it came in a "collection" from White Flower Farm, so I don't have a name for it. The scent isn't as sweet as an Oriental lily but is still rather heavy and, honestly, I'm not crazy about it. In my experience, the tall lilies (this one is about five feet) are pretty easy to grow and don't need staking.

What beautiful lilies! I hope the liriope I just planted come out so lovely! Did you have to put a lot of work into them?

Such beautiful lilies! I love the soft pale colors. I wouldn't expect they'd grow that high without the aide of a stake. Great Job!

Lilies are one of the easiest flowers to grow, in my experience. They normally don't need staking as their stems are very strong and thick.
