Question: What Title is correct: Crown Imperials or tiger lilies?

First I checked the working calendar of Fridel Dethleffs-Edelmann: Under 1929 - page 21 is handwritten entered her: "crown imperial" 4 orange lilies on deep dark blue ground, etc. Thus, it is the original title.

In Wikipedia I have however found for the corresponding floral photo only biological name "Kaiser lily". When I had found that there are 6 different sections of lilies, I finished, not biologically with me, but only art historically based, search. Bernd Riedle 03/04/2016

Supplement: I have just read on Google that Feuerlilien are referred to in Finland as 'Imperial Crown'. Mrs J. Schabacher 04/04/2016
