I have a wunderful lily presently flowering for the first time . It is labelled Lilium sargentiae, but it looks like it could be something else. The flowers are really huge, near 20cms in length. The stems are short, not above 50cms, but as said, it's its first blossom, so maybe it will reach higher in the future.
Second plant was given under Silene virginica ( or virginiana), but also isn't was it should be. It's a pretty little plant that flowered well during summer, reaching about 20/30 cms height only.
If anybody has any guess, that would be fine!
Thanks

It's probably a hybrid. It's common to get varying amounts of pink in hybrids of regale, for example. If it makes stem bulbils, it might be a hybrid of sargentiae or sulphureum.

the Lily Garden has a trumpet hybrid called Summer Palace which is very similar to your pink lily... anyway, compliments: it is beautiful.
