If one more customer confuses Tiger Lilies with Daylilies, we are going to bury them up to their neck in the compost pile. It is likely that these are the only virus free Tiger Lilies you will ever see, as near as I can tell everything in cultivation is infested with one or in most cases several viruses to which it is largely immune but will spread Typhoid Mary fashion to other lilies in your collection. (Most of the commercial Dutch lilies also harbor viruses so don’t panic about lancifolium). These are seed grown, not raised from stem bulbils, which is a big culprit in the spread of viruses (seed being inherently virus free). If tiger lily abstinence is not for you then do the right thing and practice safe lily sex.

Large 6-8' pagoda of downward facing orange Lilies, with reflexed and spotted petals, up to 40 to a stem; it is similar to Lilium martagon. Please do not confuse this wonderful plant with those ugly orange wild daylilies.
