Nope.

Tiger lilies are completely orange.

I'd suggest flame lilies, but you'd have mentioned drooping if that's what she were after.

these are sold as Mona Lisa lillies, but there are several from differnt bulb breeders that look very similar. if you can find the ones pictured you wont be far from the orange ones. there are two groups of lillies that are sorta similar, Oriential like these and Asiatic. Oriential is bigger.

might be close. there are a metric ton of different ones out there. Many of these are patented( mona lisa is a pat. name), so companies will have similar products with subtle variations which adds to the mix.


if you are needing cut flowers the florist will know, just describe them.
