  They certainly look look like a lily. What are the leaves like, as the leaves in the picture seem to belong to the white rose? Are they longer and more tapered? I have a lily a similar colour & size as the one you are showing just about to bloom but unfortunately can't remember it's name.

  I suspect it is Lilium Martagon, Turk's cap lily.

  Thanks @Borderline. Having looked I think that variety is called Claude Shride😘

  Possibly ‘Claude Shride’? It might become more recurved as the flower develops

  They do indeed look like the name suggests, very beautiful!
