Ursula, wonder if you got a name to this pretty lily?

If not I wonder if you are absolutely sure this is an Oriental and not an O.T. lily? If so then please just ignore this nonsense Whistling

My thinking is that Chile does produce a substantial crop of lilies bulbs for cutting and the O.T. Robina is one of the most common lilies for cutting. So it kind of makes sense that it sneaks into a little bag masquerading as an Oriental lily. Speaking from experience I know unnamed lilies or various mixes really can be anything.

On the other hand I can't really see the foliage that clearly here and perhaps that is distinctively Oriental looking. All things considering I would absolutely not trust my own judgement here Hilarious! But on the other hand this does look a lot like Robina (or a very similar O.T.).
