Lilium and other lilies

According to Wikipedia, Lilium, a true lily, comprise a genus of about 110 species in the lily family (Liliaceae). Many other plants exist with "lily" in the common English name, some of which are quite unrelated to the true lilies. For instance, the Daylily (Hemerocallis) is not considered a 'true' lily. Nor are Peruvian Lilies (Alstroemeria) true lilies.

But for today, I consider all these to be lilies -- beautiful, colourful lilies. Hope you find them pleasing.
