Help ID two flowers?

[MaryMary]

I bought this first one years ago, it was supposed to be .an annual in my zone, and since I had just moved here; I wanted "Flowers, NOW!!" I forgot what it was, because it wasn't coming back.

Wish I'd known it was going to be perennial, I'd have put it somewhere else!!

This one was here when I got here. It has spread out from the garage to the point where some of it got mowed last year. This year, I am going to find a plant swap, and dig some up to give away. So I'll need the name of it; "Unknown orange lily," probably wouldn't go over well.

Thank you!!

The foliage looks a lot like spiderwort, but those flowers are definitely not spiderwort flowers. However, another plant that has foliage similar to that are lilies and the flowers seem to be possibly a lily. So my guess it's some type of lily, especially the top picture.

In the top picture, if you are looking at the wider blades of foliage in the top left - that is spiderwort!

The foliage on the plant is a lot like grass, I almost pulled it the first year it came back. Then I noticed where it was, and that there was a little grouping of the same thing next to it. The foliage for that flower is the narrow blade that you see going diagonally across the bottom left of that shot.

*Also, I just remembered, the bulbs (corms?) for the blue one were no bigger than a grape.

First photo, I have no idea.

The second photo is a daylily, as you know, but with so many daylily cultivars, many that look similar, it's impossible for me to help you. Looks a lot like the invasive ones I see in the wild around here. They do form massive clumps and they're a pain in the butt to remove.

That explains it, I guess I was mixing up foliage and flowers. I still think the flowers are some type of lily.

As for the second picture, since JBtheExplorer identified them as daylilies, then maybe they are this variety of Daylily: https://www.rachelsflowersandweddings.com/perennials/5-orange-kwanzo-daylilys/ .... http://www.hemerocallis-species.com/HS/Species/fu_Kw_e.htm

On 1 photos Brodiaea laxa (Triteleia laxa).
On 2 photos , I agree with @JBtheExplorer , a daylily. By the way, very beautiful daylily!

Yes, I know those!! I have heard those called tiger lilies. Around here, we call them ditch lilies. (I think tiger lilies have black spots on them, and are a different plant, but I could be wrong.) They don't have the extra ruffles. These are the ones you are thinking of?

Yes, I think you've got it!! Orange Kwanzo Daylilies. Thank you! Now I can take some to a plant swap, and trade them for something purple. (Or pink.) (Or blue.)

Thank you, Larisa!! I will never stop being impressed, but I am going to quit being surprised!!

We have both the "ditch lilies" and the lily in your original photo growing in the wild around here.

And you are right about Tiger Lilies having spots. "Tiger Lilies" are native lily species, and more attractive than daylilies. The term "Tiger Lily" is actually used for three different native species: Michigan Lily, Turks Cap Lily, and also occasionally used for Wood Lily.
