Maybe, I don’t know. Are day lilies a bushy plant and oriental lilies a single stalk? I know I sound ignorant.

Daylilies have leaves that look like grass, only beefier. The leaves spring up from the ground without much of a stem. Oriental lilies have leaves that are attached to a stem or stalk.

And while looking for pictures I discovered I’ve been lumping together 2 types of lilies. In addition to Oriental, there are also Asiatic lilies. I guess I learned something new, too. It looks like Oriental lilies are more likely to branch and get bushier, while Asiatics tend to grow single stems, although there may be more than one flower per stem.

Double-check that part, though.
