That's a
Lilium superbum (Turk's Cap Lily, American Tiger Lily)
It is such a bright orange, I think I need to add that to my garden next year. Netty also posted a picture of hers this morning too.

Isn't that a beautiful thing? Mine are all finished for the year  Turks caps are my favorite of all lilies. They are so delicate looking but tough as nails!
