Can you help me identify this flower

Atlantic Beach, VA

I believe it to be a lily of some type and I have 3 very large and very healthy plants in my back yard that I'd really like to dig, separate and move, and possibly swap. The plant sends up large stalks with a pod at the end that opens into a cluster of about 6 flowers. Any ideas?

It reminds me of oriental trumpet lily, but the leaves don't appear to match and there are many flowers in one stalk/pod.

Looks like Crinum lily. If you have had it a long time, possibly Ellen Bosanquet. If newly acquired, then probably a hybrid.

It was here when I bought the house and they are extremely well established - they've definitely been here for awhile. Thank you for the help. :)

That's it - plant files matches exactly. Thank you so much!
