You see them growing in ditches,so they also call them ditch lilies. They are the ones that are orange, with the small dark stripes in the center.

This is a classic example of why botanical latin is still in use today. There are a couple of different plants that we call tiger lily.
Lilium lancifolium is a true lily, native to Asia and has naturalized in parts of eastern US. The ditch lily (Hemerocallis fulva)is not a true lily and it to has naturalized in the US quite well. Depending on where you live in the states determines what one calls a tiger lily!!

We live in a rural area and you'll see these growing in the ditches or in the open fields. They're orange with dark stripes on them.
