I know NOTHING about lilies...

can anyone tell us anything about these?

Can't help you, but they sure are pretty :-)

Thank you...I am not a lily person but have ended up with these thru bonus plants on orders.

They both look like Asiatic lilies. They will continue to send up a few more stems each year until they get too crowded. Then you will need to dig them up and divide them. You'll find one bulb has turned into many. I divide mine maybe every 3 or 4 years or when I notice the blooms are getting smaller or that there are lots of green stems without any blooms. How often varies with each lily. Once the blooms are done, cut back just the top part of the plant. Try not to cut back more than you have to to prevent seed heads from forming. You want the leaves to be able to absorb energy for next years blooms. A little bulb food in the spring and after blooming doesn't hurt anything, but they seem to bloom with or without it. Not fussy at all.
