There are many more kinds of lilies, but only one more that I know anything about and it is one of my favorites -- the Tiger Lily. See:

This is not my picture, but to me sums up the tiger lily's essence. Plus there is one more thing it doesn't show. They are often really tall. My orange tiger lily is my tallest lily, at least 5 ft tall. It is difficult to hold upright in my garden.
They grow well here. I have orange and yellow, but they come in white, red, and pink at least. I covet more of these beauties. I have a hard time getting a good picture of them because of their tendency to bend over and because the flower faces the ground. These are my last lilies to bloom each year, but I really look forward to them. The picture I have attached is from '07.
