Can any Lilium enthusiasts identify this one?

Grows to 6-foot, with slightly-reflexed petals. No record of where it was bought but we've had it for a few years.

    I'm not a lily enthusiast, but have planted out my first lilies this year, so I'm definitely a fan of these lovelies.  Your lily might possibly be 'Orange Valley'?  But their listing for this species says 3' tall.  Looks very much like photo seen on the Natl. Gardening Assoc. website:   https://garden.org/plants/photo/582450/.  None of their other gold lilies look quite like yours in color or petal markings.  I just browsed their database.

    Yellow Bruse may also be an option...

    Thank you both for you investigative work. Out of the two suggestions I'd say that Yellow Bruse looks identical with its longish markings. Orange Valley has smaller elongated spots.
    One grower puts the height at 100cms. although ours is nearer 140. It's made bulbils on the stems, which I may try to pot up as an experiment, but it's going to be sometime before they flower.

    Heights of any plants are a guide only. Your conditions and climate can make a huge difference   :)
