Can you ID this lily?

20 years ago

It gets to be about 4.5 - 6 feet tall and produces mostly orange flowers held straight upright. There is no curl to the petals at all. Some yellow and white flowers have appeared, but no red. Self seeds like mad producing true-to-type plants. Bulbils form on the stem.

I had an orange Asiatic, I think it was Volendam, that got six feet tall grown outdoors. I never let it go to seed but it produced bulbils like mad. If you've had yellow and white flowers also, it sounds like you've got several different varieties.

That orange Asiatic could also have been named Antique Orange.
