Anthony, that first pic is certainly an unusual looking lily for an orientpet. Time will tell, but it looks like an asiatic, trumpet/asiatic, or trumpet to me. I wonder if the original cross could have been contaminated. Some trumpets will have ripe pollen even before the flower opens, and you have to get up pretty early to beat the bees if you're a serious hybridizer.
