Lilium catesbaei
The Tiger Lily, bears large, fiery orange flowers covered by spots.The name tiger probably refers to the spots on the petals.
The flowers of this perennial can grow up to three inches in width.The Tiger Lily is also known as the Ditch Lily as it is found in and around ditches in large parts of America.
These photos were taken of a local Florist arrangement but these same lilies grow in my garden in June. (Gloucester Co., NJ)

Geminigail. Sorry
It's beautiful geminigall. Well whatever it is.
Sorry there are no serious spots and it does not curl back and hang down on the stem. This is not a tiger Lily.
