HemNorth said:@pepper23 - Thanks for the link to the Canadian Lily website of the Valley K Lily Ranch, in Alberta. It has made me long for some of my favourites again. If only I could thwart the mole who has built a network of tunnels under our property, through which the mice and voles have discovered and decimated dozens of favourite Lilies and Hemerocallis.
On another note, on this website I found the Lily Corsica to be quite different from what I've known. For about 25 years I've had this Lily, bought from a reputable company, whose name I can't recall, and now I'm wondering who I have!
I put up three pictures on this Database, which I guess I'll have to remove. I even googled it, and the few images that came up were pink, and then there were my three orangey ones. I'm embarrassedHas anyone seen a Corsica like this, or know of the name of this Lily? Thanks in advance for any help.

My not-Corsica:
And the packaging:
Finally, the description of 'Corsica' from the registry:
