It does look like an Oriental lily with its form and papillae, but it does have trumpet in it, hence orienpet. I think the trumpet genes were the key to bringing the yellow, concentrated along the midveins, out to the edges of the petals.
Mak has been doing work on improving true yellow Oriental lilies, as illustrated in my photo postings of my visit last summer.
