Leftwood - I found this description and picture (not sure how good) of L tsingtauense:

Lilium tsingtauense/Qing dao bai he (Chinese). Large, upright flowers of a flamboyant, living orange open in June-July above tropical-looking whorls of wide green leaves. The flowers have matching orange pollen, fine maroon freckles and they are scented. The leaves often turn maroon in autumn. Native to open forest, scrub and grassland on the Korean Peninsula and in the Chinese provinces of Anhui and Shandong. Height to 120 cm (4'). Zone 6.

How are you protecting this bulb? How deeply planted and is it out in the open or near a warm foundation? How deep do you mulch? Did you grow this from seed?
