Fritella

Not sure on the second photo - maybe gardenia?

The second pic is a camellia

I think it's a hemerocallis (day lily).

Or Camellia

Thank you. My DD is sending me random flower pictures and asking me to identify them!

Crown Imperial Fritillaries smell of foxes, only have them if you have a fairly large garden. It can be quite powerful.

Camellias are lovely.

Frittilaria and camelia.

You are all brilliant and now my DD thinks I am very clever!

I did not know that about Crown Imperial!

I shall cease considering it at once!

Crown imperial are in the fritallaria group so are probably prone to lily beetle attach ( little red bastards) I would not (could not) grow it for that reason.

Top one Fritillaria Imperialis, second one a camellia but not sure which exact one.

The Fritillaria will grow in pretty shady spots so it's useful for a burst of spring colour under a tree.

Camellia likes acid soil so if yours is not then easiest to grow in a pot and feed ericaceous plant food.

I think it's a hemerocallis (day lily). A day lily does have orange flowers, but they are pointing upwards, not hanging down.
