Found that up against a wall, I have never seen it before. so hopefully it will bloom again next year.

Tiger Lily / Lilium lancifolium is a big family that is widespread in Europe, Asia and North America.
Like other true lilies, the flowers are borne on an erect stem 80–200 cm tall, clothed with the more or less linear leaves 6–9 cm long and 1–2 cm broad. It is one of a very small number of species that produce aerial bulblets, known as bulbils, in the leaf axils along the stem. These can be used to propagate the plant. Flowers on the plant last for a short period of time before they wither and are replaced by newer flowers
